With the summer festivals over, it's time to look forward and highlight some of the concerts that are taking place in the next few weeks and to mark your calendars for some early announcements of festivals and concerts for 2018.
Stefan Milenković - The world renowned violinist will be performing three benefit shows with the Zagreb Soloists.
Since being taught the violin by his parents from the tender age of three, the multi award winning Stefan Milenković has gone on to become one the world's most established and sought-after violinists of his generation.
Serbia’s Artist of the Century continues to appear at some of the most prestigious venues around the world as a soloist and regularly accompanies some of the world's greatest orchestras. With his 1783 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin, he has collaborated with the rock band Gorillaz as well as Edin Karamazov and the Vlatko Stefanovski trio. Stefan has also played for numerous dignitaries including President Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev and Pope John Paul II.
