    In the 2011/12 season, three national philharmonic orchestras - Slovenian, Zagreb and Belgrade - will embark on a joint project titled Pika-Točka-Tačka (Point in all three languages).

     

    This cultural project, the first one of such scale, has been initiated by the directors of the three national orchestras from the region, and formally endorsed by the presidents and prime ministers of all three states and the USA embassies. Implementation starts in September, and will continue for at least five years.

     

    From next year, the Slovenian, Zagreb and Belgrade philharmonic orchestras will have a special subscription programme within their regular concert season - Pika-Točka-Tačka, as part of which they will hold five concerts with the same conductors, soloists and programs.

     

    Within the subscription program, each orchestra will perform in its home city with its chief conductor, and also have guest performances in the other two cities in the region. At guest performances, the Belgrade Philharmonic will be directed by Muhai Tang, the Zagreb Philharmonic by Dmitri Kitayenko, and the Slovenian Philharmonic by Emmanuel Villaume. At the remaining two concerts, with the same soloists and program, the Slovenian, Zagreb and Belgrade philharmonic orchestras, will be directed by the American conductors Andrew Grams and Jonathan Schiffman.

     

    Based on an analysis of subscribers' preferences and experiences of all three orchestras, a unique program has been selected for the Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade audience. The three national philharmonic orchestras will "cross swords" or, rather, bows, at fifteen concerts, performing the works of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, Saint-Saëns, Copland, Glass, Hanson and Schoenfield.

     

    Four world-class pianists - Andrei Gavrilov, Alexei Volodin, Andrew von Oeyen and Andreas Boyde - and violoncellist Monika Leskovar, will participate in the project as soloists.

    The cycle opens in Ljubljana, with the Slovenian Philharmonic concert on September 8, 2011, and closes in the same city on May 27, 2012, with a guest performance by the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra.

100% romantic with the ZG Philharmonic orchestra, Andrew Grams and Andrei Gavrilov within the "PIKA

ZAGREB - The series of concerts within the regional cycle Pika-Točka-Tačka continues on Friday, 24th February. The Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra has decided that the last concert in the short, yet quite eventful month of February should match the February's overall mood - 100% romantic! Under the baton or, effectively, the magic wand of Andrew Grams and featuring the Russian piano virtuoso Andrei Gavrilov, the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra will attempt to stir up the audience's passion and awake the romantic spirit even of those who stubbornly claim they do not have any such spirit in them. 

Andrew Grams is one of America's most promising and talented young conductors, who has appeared with many internationally acclaimed orchestras, including the Cleveland Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the Detroit Symphony and the Washington D.C. National Symphony Orchestra.

The 2010/2011 season witnessed a major debut for Grams with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in London alongside debut appearances with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Orchestra of the Beethovenhalle Bonn. On the international arena, he conducted the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, the Melbourne Symphony, the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia Rome and the Residentie Orchestra of the Hague, to name a few.

Despite being so young, he will showcase his immense experience to the Zagreb audience this Friday.

The Russian virtuoso Andrei Gavrilov made his London debut in 1976 with Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in the Royal Festival Hall. In 1978 he performed with the Berlin Philharmonic in a major European concert tour of 30 concerts. By 1980 he had performed in all major cultural centres in the world.

After the exceptional career that propelled him to stardom, he completely abandoned the vocation of a pianist in the mid-1990s, only to return triumphantly to the international music scene in the beginning of the new millennium. His Zagreb appearance, where he will play Concerto No 2 by Camille Saint-Saëns, will prove without a doubt that he is now stronger than ever. The same programme was successfully staged in Belgrade in November 2011.

That said, all we have left to do now is to invite you to join us for this romantic music event.
