<\/p>\nAs part of its decentralisation projects, from 29 to 31 March, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra goes on the \u201cPhilharmonic Plays South\u201d mini tour of three southern Serbian cities. In the concerts in Vranje (29 March), Leskovac (30 March) and Aleksinac (31 March), the BPO Chamber Ensemble will play Schubert\u2019s Octet.<\/p>\n
In the south of Serbia, the Belgrade Philharmonic will perform one of its best chamber programmes, reaching out to the audience several hundred kilometres away from Belgrade, who are not in the position to attend the concerts of the best national orchestra. The members of the Octet are distinguished BPO soloists, and the presence of various instrumental groups in this ensemble makes it a \u201corchestra in miniature\u201d. In addition to the Concertmaster Tijana Milo\u0161evi\u0107, the violin will be played by Selena Jakovljevi\u0107, the viola by Boris Brezovac, Nemanja Stankovi\u0107 will play the cello and Boban Sto\u0161i\u0107 will play the double bass. Members of the wind section include clarinettist Ognjen Popovi\u0107, hornist Nikola \u0106iri\u0107 and bassoonist Sava Djuri\u0107.<\/p>\n

The project is implemented in cooperation with cultural institutions from the three cities, which were selected by the criteria of the quality of their cultural programmes and their active attitude towards local cultural development. Thus, the hosts will be the Bora Stankovi\u0107 Theatre in Vranje, the Leskovac Culture Centre and the Centre for Culture and Art in Aleksinac.<\/p>\n
Beside the top-notch musical programme, this BPO project also aims to encourage cultural development in local communities, through commitment of artistic, organisational and promotional capacities.<\/p>\n
