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.
After three decades, the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra is giving a concert in Belgrade again, on Saturday, 19 May at 8.00 PM in Kolarac, as part of the regional cooperation of three philharmonic orchestras titled Pika -Točka -Tačka.
Following the performances with the Slovenian and Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestras, conductor Jonathan Schiffman and pianist Andreas Boyde will appear with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra at Kolarac on Friday, 20 April at 8 PM, as part of the Pika-Točka-Tačka cycle.

Zanimljivi program s „američkim naglaskom“ obuhvatit će vremenski glazbeni niz skladbi počevši od onih oca američke glazbe Aarona Coplanda pa sve do glazbenih umotvorina suvremenog američkog klasika - Philipa Glassa. Isti program u izvedbi Slovenske filharmonije oduševio je i slovensku publiku željnu dobre glazbe u siječnju ove godine.
ZAGREB – U petak 24.02. koncertom pod nazivom „100% romantično“ s uspjehom je nastavljen novi regionalni ciklus "Točka -Tačka - Pika".
Pokretanjem ovog ciklusa vodeći orkestri u regiji željeli su stvoriti stabilnu zajedničku platformu za kvalitetnu kulturnu suradnju te su time u potpunosti opravdali ulogu kulturnih ambasadora koji nas uvijek iznova podsjećaju da glazba usitinu ne poznaje granice.
Uz Zagrebačku filharmoniju nastupili su američki dirigent Andrew Grams i ruski pijanist Andrej Gavrilov.
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.
To much acclaim, the guest performances within the Pika-Točka-Tačka cycle started last week with the concerts of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra in Zagreb (9th December) and Belgrade (10th December). The Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra performed under the baton of its Chief Conductor Emmanuel Villaume and the soloist was the brilliant American pianist Andrew von Oeyen. With these first guest performances, the collaboration of the three leading philharmonic orchestras in the region has made the journey from idea to reality.

Pianist Andrei Gavrilov appeared as a soloist.
Here are a couple of photos to convey part of the concert atmosphere.
