Acoustic Electronic featuring Ema Popivoda on Piano and Aleksandar Petrov on Drum<\/p>\n

Wednesday, March 11th from 7 pm<\/p>\n

ACOUSTIC ELECTRONICS is a unique music project where world famous electronic epic hits (suitable for piano) are transformed irreversibly into a “classical” music for piano and drums. Together with my colleague drummer Aleksandar Petrov  we worked for over a year trying to put a classical spin on an electronic hits of our youth (starting with Kraftwerk, Orbital, New order, Prodigy through Dj Rolando, Layo and Bushvacka, Derrick May, David Morales, Robert Miles and many more). The project was successfully presented in Macedonia, Austria and Montenegro.<\/p>\n

Ema Popivoda<\/strong> is an acclaimed Macedonian concert pianist and the youngest Associate Professor in her native country. Born in a musical family (her mother is also a musician), Popivoda\u2019s talent shone through from a young age and it was quite clear that this charismatic young lady was destined to become a musician. During her bachelor degree, Ms. Popivoda had the privilege to study under renowned experts such as Stela Slejanska, Aquiles Delle Vigne, Boris Romanov, William Howard and Arbo Valdma to name but a few. In 2013, she completed her doctorate studies in piano performance with the highest score in her class. Internationally active, this young pianist has participated in the \u201cMozarteum Summer Academy\u201d in Salzburg, Austria and \u201cDartington Academy\u201d in Devon \u2013 UK. She also holds an IGSCE studies certificate from the University of Cambridge and has acquired a Teacher Accreditation for the British music program. Ms. Popivoda\u2019s concert career has been very eclectic to date. Her distinctive performance style, combined with her unusual repertoire, often mixing modern composers from her homeland with the work of the Romantics and Classics, Ema is a true cultural ambassador for Macedonia, promoting the distinct music style of the region.<\/p>\n

Her career highlights include a solo recitals at \u201cDevonia church\u201d in London, \u201cMC Gallery\u201d New York, \u201cSymphony Salon\u201d in Tokyo,  \u201cMirbach Palace\u201d in Bratislava, \u201cTeatro Marcello\u201d Rome, \u201cKorosy Szalon\u201d in Budapest, \u201cArt Base\u201d in Brussels, \u201cHouse of the King Peter\u201d in Belgrade and Soloist with the West Coast Symphony orchestra \u2013 Vancouver at Skopje Summer Festival.<\/p>\n

She is also an ardent and committed chamber musician who performs frequently at the most prestigious festivals and cultural events with a wide range of musical collaborators, including oboists Jaroslaw Wyrzikovsky and Vladimir Lazarevski, guitarist Petrit Ceku, clarinetists Branko Pavlovski and Georgious Kazikos, violinist Vladimir Krstev, pianists Tatjana Dzorleva and Asami Sate. Ema is a part of the ensemble ConTempora that actively works in promoting the contemporary music with the special attention to the music by Macedonian authors.<\/p>\n

Alongside with her career as a classical pianist, she has simultaneously participated in an experimental project of fusion music. In 2015, Potevska was a soloist with Orchestra regional de Cannes, in Nice, France performing a Concerto for piano orchestra and a DJ, with the world known DJ Derrick May, conducted by Dzijan Emin. Her newest project \u201cAcoustic electronics\u201d where world famous electronic hits are adopted for piano and drums was acclaimed by the musical critics in Austria, Macedonia and Montenegro as unique, inspiring and refreshing.<\/p>\n

Despite her divided dedication to these multiple passions, it is through Popivoda\u2019s thoughtful and tenderly expressive music-making that she most deeply touches the emotions of audiences. Fortunately, they have been able to enjoy her concerts worldwide, thanks to the extensive tours she undertakes as a soloist and recitalist.<\/p>\n

Ema has also represented Macedonia as a member of the world leadership network \u201cGlobal bridges\u201d as a young cultural leader. She has been honored in her homeland as a leader in the area of culture and arts by the President of the Republic of Macedonia HE Gorgje Ivanov<\/p>\n
