asna Popovic, a unique Serbian pianist who has a successful ca- reer in New York and worldwide, recently posed a question about what’s going on with the world’s young composers and why they are so quiet. She wrote this question on Facebook and received com- positions from more than 30 composers, people from all over the world who wanted to share their music. She decided to learn all of these compositions, to record them and perform them at concerts worldwide. - The project “Around the Piano World”has connected me to people around the world who deal with music at the deepest and sincerest level. They made some very interesting discov- eries in sound that helped me to view contemporary classi- cal music in a completely different way. Far from the tradition- al way of writing, composers now play with various rhythms

dila uspešnu karijeru, postavila je nedavno pita- nje šta se dešava s mladim kompozitorima sveta i zašto su tako tihi. Napisala je to pitanje na Fej- sbuku i više od 30 kompozitora poslalo je kom- pozicije, ljudi iz celog sveta želeli su da podele svoju muziku. Odlučila je da sve te kompozicije nauči, snimi i odsvira na koncertima širom sveta. – Projekat Oko klavirskog sveta me je po- vezao sa ljudima širom sveta koji se bave muzi- kom na najdubljem i najiskrenijem nivou. Oni su došli do veoma interesantnih zvučnih otkrića, koja su mi pomogla da sagledam savremenu ozbiljnu muziku na potpu- no drugačiji način. Daleko od tradi- cionalnog načina pisanja, kompo- zitori se igraju raznim ritmovima i harmonijama, kreirajući nepred- vidive efekte. Kakva je duša klavirskog sveta? – Umetnost je generalno veoma kompleksna sfera, tako da se klavirska duša ne razli- kuje mnogo od nekog drugog oblika umetnosti. Osim talen- ta, potrebni su disciplina, str- pljenje i samoispitivanje da bi se došlo do odgovora koji bi za nekog umetnika bio zado- voljavajući. Kažete da volite da putu- jete „Er Srbijom“? – Da, jer je odlična avio-kom- panija. Usluga je kvalitetna, let je siguran i udoban, a atmosfera veo- ma prijatna. Let od Njujorka do Beo- grada mi je olakšao put do Evrope i omo- gućio da se osećam odmorno posle deset sati leta. Koji su vaši novi projekti za slede- ću sezonu? – Osim snimanja koja imam svake nedelje, možda najinteresantniji proje- kat za sledeću sezonu je koncert u Kar- negi holu, koji je zakazan za oktobar 2018. Moji gosti na koncertu biće srpski umet- nici koji žive u Njujorku i biće predstav- ljena srpska muzika u raznim oblicima, od tradicionalne, etno, preko klasike do džeza. Ovom prilikom želim da zahva- lim Ministarstvu spoljnih poslova na fi- nansijskoj pomoći i Er Srbiji na podrš- ci ovom značajnom projektu.

and harmonies, creating unpredictable effects. How is the soul of the piano world?

- Art is generally a very complex domain, so the soul of the piano doesn’t differ that much from any other art form. Alongside talent, it is necessary to have great discipline, pa- tience and self-examination in order to arrive at a response that would satisfy some artist. You like travelling with Air Serbia? - Yes, because it’s a great airline. The service is high quality, flights are secure and comforta- ble, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The NewYork-Belgradeflighteasedmyjourneyto Europe and enabled me to feel rested after fly- ing for ten hours. What are your new projects for the up- coming season? - Alongside the recordings that I have every week, the most interesting project for next season is perhaps the concert in Carnegie Hall, which is scheduled for October 2018. My guests at

the concert will be Serbian artists who live in New York and Serbian music will be presented in various forms, from traditional and ethno mu-

sic, through classics and jazz. I would like to use this occasion to thank the Serbian Min- istry of Foreign Affairs for itsfinancialassistanceand Air Serbia for supporting this important project.
