The Second Edition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Second Edition: January 2019<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, January 28, 2019, the second edition of the Rossi Fest<\/em> International Festival was officially closed. This year’s festival has gathered over a hundred performers from the country and abroad (Serbia, Israel, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France, UK, Montenegro, Macedonia, Russia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s Rossi Fest<\/em> was designed as a three-day program of the festival where, in addition to world classics, the audience had the opportunity to enjoy the creation of eminent Baroque composers, Claudio Monteverdi and Solomon Rossi, as well as in modern musical compositions by young composers who composed their works specifically for this festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening ceremony began with the screening of Jozef Rozlic’s film about the composer after whom the festival was named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from from the Baruch Brothers Choir<\/em> and the Jewish Chamber Orchestra ensemble, guests also presented the ensembles Barok Vokal<\/em> (Mainz, Germany), soloists of the Institute for Artistic Art (Belgrade), members of the New Trinity Baroque<\/em> (Serbia \/ USA) and the Synagogal Ensemble Berlin (Germany). An important part of the Rosi Fest program is dedicated to the education and empowerment of music students and young music professionals. Therefore, apart from the concerts of domestic and foreign performers, the program included lectures by eminent musicologists Dr Ane Stefanovic and Dr Tijane Popovic Mla\u0111enovic, a competition for young composers, as well as a masterclass for young opera singers led by renowned mezzo-soprano Claudia Eder, professor at the Music Academy of the University of Mainz (Germany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival was organized with the support of the Embassy of Israel<\/em>, the Jewish Municipality of Belgrade<\/em>, the Italian Institute of Culture<\/em>, the National Theater in Belgrade<\/em> and other institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
