*premiere performance
After his studies in Skopje, Zoran Mitev graduated from the University of Ljubljana’s Academy of Music in 1987, then completed a specialisation in Graz. In 2010, the Senate of the Academy presented him with the Award for Important Works of Art in the field of bassoon. Since 1992, he has been solo bassoonist for the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, and has premiered more than 40 works for solo and chamber ensembles by Slovene and foreign composers. He is also active as a teacher. He will be joined by cellist Igor Škerjanec, a past winner of the Betetto Award and Župančič Prize, and members of the Art Centre Polifonia, a Skopje-based association that puts on concerts, supports Macedonian artists and hosts workshops and other activities. They will perform music by the prolific Gordon Jacob, a composer with an unswerving commitment to melody, the neoclassicist Tomislav Zografski, who played a key part in the journey of Macedonian music towards the postmodern era, the stylistically eclectic Lars-Erik Larsson, the prolific Marko Mihevc, whose music is notable for its dramatic impetus and carefully considered deployment of musical elements, Dragan Šuplevski, whose music frequently draws on Macedonian folk music for both melody and rhythm and a work incorporating elements of jazz and classical music by the revolutionary Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla. Zoran Mitev’s jubilee celebration will thus feature a full and varied programme of superlative chamber music.
