5 INTERNATIONAL PIANO FEST
We are organizing the fifth International Piano Fest in Subotica and we are looking forward to some exciting
change this year: the International Piano Fest will be held in two separate periods.
The first part of the festival is held this month, on November 18-22, 2018, while the second part takes place in
winter, January 21-26, 2019. We will treat our audience to ten excellent piano concerts.
We are thrilled to announce that the works to be performed include pieces rarely performed in concert halls in
Subotica, there will be thematic music evenings, piano works by European and American contemporary composers,
CD premiers and, as a special delight, a concert featuring an organ and a piano. For some of the artists
performing at the Piano Fest it will be their first visit to our beautiful city, while others are well-known to Subotica’s
audience, given that they have played our venues before.
In the first section of the Festival, in November, the following artists will give concerts: Vladimir Milošević and
Nada Kolundžija (SRB), João Elias (Brazil), Mariann Kerényi, Zsuzsanna Ádám and Zita Tímea Somogyvári (HU), as
well as Olga and Xenia Kemova (RUS). Then in January, piano duos will take the center stage: Yuval Admony and
Tami Kanazawa from Israel and Japan, Alina Sherniakova and Ekaterina Berezan from Russia, and Eva-Maria
Weinreich and Tomohito Nakaishi, who are from Germany and Japan, respectively.
“I am fed up with endlessly droning on and on about what a great problem it is to ensure the financial resources
for organizing a festival like this. Yet I am forced to. I must highlight what a challenge it is to be faced with
decreased financing, having less and less money every year at our disposal for organizing and still bring great
concerts to our city. At the same time, we are deeply touched and honored to find that many of these artists, our
colleagues accept our invitation to play the concerts nonetheless. I am proud that our loyal audience will be able
to enjoy such outstanding piano music. We are deeply grateful to our guests for having accepted Electe’s invitation
to play on these charity events. We must also thank our dedicated audience who regularly attend our events.
If it weren’t for the audience’s engagement, we would hardly have the motivation to organize this festival. Last
year the Piano Fest was both a success with the audience, as well as a great professional achievement. We can
proudly say that all the concerts had a full house.
The International Piano Fest, which is organized for the fifth time, will have a program as colorful and diverse as
in the previous years. Our guest pianists have studied at and played in the halls of universities, academies and
master classes around Europe, Asia and the United States. Such diverse sounds and musical experiences will
hopefully bring vitality and energy into the music venues of Subotica. In January Music school Subotica will
again host the piano masterclass, offering all interested pianists and performers a chance to hone their skills. We
invite our enthusiastic audience to join us for both series of concerts, in November and in January,” said Noémi
Görög, the Artistic Director of the Electe.
The donated funds collected at the concerts will be used for charity, in aid of the rehabilitation center of the
Subotica General Hospital.
