10/17/2024 - My music received its Macedonian (and indeed, probably Eastern European) premiere with a multi-studio performance at the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra's Chamber Hall. My
Nocturne in G# minor was performed beautifully by Zlatica Lazarova, student of Blagoj Janev. I'm grateful to all the students and teachers who invested their time and energy into the
22 Nocturnes collection and the recital was apparently very well received. You can find out more on
Branka Markovic's Facebook post here and on MIA.mk's news article here .
