FESTIVAL TEAM
The first Multimod Festival for Performer-Composers was held in Geneva in 2016 under the auspices of the HEM. The second edition of the festival will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, and will be produced by the Cultural Institution Gvarnerius. The basic premise of the festival is to present and examine the world of contemporary performer-composer activities in the context of the multiple modernities concept-a concept, which presents us with a large, international and multifaceted overview of modernity.
As much as the theoretical view of creativity today involves diverse cultural and aesthetic sources, it also involves diverse practices including improvisation, written-out composition and multimedia. The festival comprises performances, lectures, workshops and master classes designed for artists, students and scholars interested in the subject.
As special guests, we are presenting composer-performer, interdisciplinary artist, author and educator David Rosenboom, Catalan composer and guitarist Feliu Gasull , eclectic jazz artist Bruce Arnold from New York City, Israeli performer-composer from the Sephardic tradition Daniel Akiva, the Iranian composer-guitarist Golfam Khayam from Teheran. We will also present Belgrade-born composer-guitarist Dusan Bogdanovic, who lives in Geneva, in collaboration with two modern dancers, Alexandra Llorens and Nils O’Swald from France.
The Belgrade -based artists will include the viola soloist Dejan Mladjenovic, classical guitarists Vera Ogrizović, Marija Rašić, together with the guitar ensemble, soprano Aneta Ilić and composer/performer Draško Adžić, pianist Nada Kolundžija, flutist Stana Krstajić, percussionist Milorad Balić and Milan Milić, harpist Milana Zarić, soprano Nevena Đoković, cello player Sandra Belić; double bass performer Boban Stošić and the other performers.
