Sustainable development
for 11 instruments was premiered by the ensemble
Splithesis and
conductor Hari Zlodre before a full house of the Croatian
National Theatre in Split on November 21.
On the same day, Ivan's
Tracing for one
harmony and three melody instruments was premiered at the
International Review of Composers in Belgrade, Serbia.
Performers were Neda Hofman, piano, Monika Lašanc, flute, Mladen
Drenić, violin and Srđan Sretenović, cello.
The first instalment of the multinational project
Invitation
to Composers, funded by the European Council, featured
Ivan's
Marittimo in the version for trumpet, piano and
string quintet. The concert was held at the Romanian Cultural
Institute in London on July 8, and the piece was performed by
Huw Morgan, trumpet, Eralys Fernandez, piano, Ivo Stankov and
Lisa Olberg, violins, Ricardo Zwietisch, viola, Sebastian
Millet, cello and Michael Cretu, double bass. Later in August,
the same performers made a studio recording of
Marittimo,
which is available
here.
Following the very successful American premiere of Ivan's Pastir dobri for women's choir and piano (poetry of Erma Sotirova), Walton Music published the score of this piece.
