The long-awaited news will be sure to delight many people who have been asking about these attractive philharmonic performances for weeks. This time, the Belgrade Philharmonic is preparing a “Music Bazaar,” ideal for all those who like traveling and going to New Year’s concerts. As in a real bazaar, the Belgrade Philharmonic will be offering a variety of musical cultures from different parts of the world. The festive atmosphere will be augmented by the sounds of the Jewish klezmer, the Arabic longa, Portuguese folklore, and cheerful songs of classical literature.

Our special guest star for our New Year’s concerts will be Kari Kriikku, a clarinet virtuoso whose performances have delighted audiences all over the world. A pioneer in the performance and promotion of contemporary music, Kari Kriikku is known for his unusual and attractive interpretations. Conducting the concerts will be our old friend Maestro Daniel Raiskin, the Belgrade Philharmonic’s chief guest conductor.
