Daria Gloukhova: Concert in Kosovo.

[Daria]

Hello, everybody! Forced to write with the help of Google translate, since I do not speak English. But I want to talk about how in December last year I went with a solo concert in Kosovo.
The concert was held in fairly harsh conditions. The whole day was no electricity in the room was 13-15 degrees ... But then, how to meet the public - is unforgettable. People do not see classical performers for about 20 years ... The attention with which they listened to empathize, and feel very encouraged. And the fingers during the game actually froze to death, and more and more ..
The place in which I played - a small town Zvecan (Serbian territory of Kosovo), in which people actually have a harder ... Albanians regularly cover the gas and light ...
The next day, when I went to Belgrade in Zvecan was gunfire.

In memory of my trip, introducing you snippets of the concert.

That was fantastic!

Those people are almost forgotten and I'm sure the concert was a breath of fresh air for them after a long time.

I wish you all the best in your career.

Hah!
This world is indeed just a speck.

I live in town near Zvecan, some 20km away. And i visit this website real often. And i had apsolutely no idea there are classical concerts out here.
It's not so harsh as you think. Mostly its peacefull, and i must say, its briliant situation for classical music. I really enjoy listening to Gorecki, or Part, when there are some troubles outdoor.
And because its non industrial place full with nature, live nature, waking with Morgenstimmung, in some 6am is just perfect expirience.

On whose invitation did you come? I haven't noticed a lot of people listening to classical music. There are few musical schools, but they are filled with childrens who are mostly playing because their parents make them to do that.

I went to Kosovo on my own initiative. So with the help of Russian and Serbian embassies, I was there.
