She has perfect pitch, and it all started with downloading melodies from the TV onto the piano at home, with a little composing. That's how her musical journey began. Ana Vujošević - "completely natural," she tells "Vijesti".
He already has a rich international music career behind him, and his performance stands out. Glinkine “Romance” as a chamber duo piano/cello at Carnegie Hall in New York, where as a student at the Moscow Conservatory she played at the concert of the winners of The Protegé International Competition.
"It feels good to play in halls like Carnegie Hall, but that was a long time ago, although the feeling is not forgotten. Now we are back in our country," she said, adding that she and Mauro Cekin They continue to build their duo even more and perform even more frequently.
She and Cekin met in Russia, where they both attended the PI Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory, Vujošević pointed out.
"We are a product of the same music school, similar sensibilities, and identical work habits. I believe that if we have been around as a piano duo and performing all over the world for more than a decade, that should be preserved," says the pianist.
The Vujošević-Cekin duo performed at the eleventh Festival of Contemporary Piano Music "Forte piano" in Podgorica, and they performed "Roman Fountains" Ottorina Respigia, “Concerto on Two Russian Themes” Alexandra Robbenblatt and “Pictures from Armenia” Jeff Manukian, including an encore where they played Rachmaninoff.
Considering that it is a contemporary music festival, he says that they were oriented "only and exclusively towards contemporary music, modern music that was written in the 20th or 21st century."
"As I said in the announcement, it's about three composers. It's a jazz crossover, classics, aside from the encore that was Rahmanjinov", it's pure classical music. They are the number one composers," said Vujošević, explaining that it is a transcription for four hands, two compositions written for piano from the 20th century, and that they were performed in 2012 and 2018, which are related to the last compositions performed, which are "very modern." She emphasizes that they decided to step out of the classics a little and play around with genres a little.
When it comes to genres, this pianist manages to cover many.
"Every genre is an adaptation for itself. Classical music needs a special approach, in chamber music you need to put yourself aside as a soloist, playing in bands is a phenomenal experience where there is a lot of improvisation that classical pianists are not used to, so it is even more challenging in that respect," she points out.
Also interesting is her "Trivia" edition with Nikola Delibašić ambient-experimental sound.
"As you said, it is experimental in nature and was recorded analogically (acoustic sound waves). It is a combination of two different worlds and skills in music, playing with frequencies. A moment of inspiration that has remained recorded," says Vujošević.
However, classical music has always been and will remain her base, said the renowned pianist.
