  • Boris Radulovic´ Curriculum Vitae Biography
    BORIS RADULOVIC´ CURRICULUM VITAE BIOGRAPHY Lauded as the “new star in the celestial canvas of pianists” (General-Anzeiger Bonn), Boris Radulovic has long been keeping the press assured of and the audiences captivated with his exceptional skills and talent. His diligence and aspiration to embody as many facets of life as possible in his music are reflected both within this charismatic artist and the “many and varied hues of his sagacious playing” (Siegerland Rundschau). Born in 1984 in Belgrade, Serbia, Boris had his first encounter with classical music very early on, an experience which immediately fomented the desire in him to pick up the piano. At a mere five years of age he received his first piano lesson at the hands of Smilja Todorovic and some years later at the Josip Slavenski Music School, under the tuition of Prof. Olga Bauer, who, together with her husband Prof. Aleksandar Bauer, played a big role in his artistic development. Thanks both to his high artistic and technical standards, he graduated at the top of his class, with his graduation concert earning him the first prize of the Ivan Petkovic Foundation. In recognition of his cultural and academic performances, the young talent received the Belgrade Angel award, as well as the honorable title of Student of the Generation, granted to him by the heir apparent Aleksandar Karadjordjevic. At the end of 2004, Boris Radulovic began his studies at the Cologne Music Academy under the tutelage of Prof. Dr. h.c. Arbo Valdma, a former student of Bruno Lukk’s, who, in turn, could name Arthur Schnabel and Paul Hindemith among his mentors.

This is especially true when the performance is done by brilliant musicians. The European Broadcasting Union’s Eurovision Young Musicians is an impressive event, in the best sense of the word. It is not any old talent show, to be quickly forgotten. No, this competition provides a spring- board for talented young solo performers of classical music to enter the international scene. I am delighted that this year’s Eurovision Young Musicians is held in Cologne, a city known for its enthusiastic audienc- es and home to renowned symphony and chamber orches- tras as well as the University of Music and Dance. For one week, musical artists from 14 countries are demon- strating their technical brilliance and artistic flair. And they are well motivated: many international celebrity artists started out at the Eurovision Young Musician, the final in Cologne’s central Roncalliplatz square will be broadcast live to a European audience and the winner will be given the op- portunity to perform with the Vienna Philharmonic. Now, if that is not an incentive, I don’t know what is.

The artist has to fi nd something within himself that's universal and which he can put into terms that are com- municable to other people.

    eset godina A TEMPA je vrijeme naše postojanosti u D velikim promjenama. Na čvrstim osloncima naše posvećenosti i pomoći prijatelja koja je rasla zajedno sa festivalom, od početka smo htjeli da stvaramo, održimo i razvijamo ono što je nedostajalo u našem muzičkom životu. Oko nas su se mijenjali ljudi, institucije čak i države, a mi nijesmo promijenili svoj kredo: uvijek najbolje što možemo, uvijek najbolji koje imamo i uvijek sa onima od kojih treba da učimo. Od resitala, filmova, promocija, okupljanja naših umjetnika u dijaspori, do uvažavanja muzičkog nasleđa i osvješćivanja muzičke sadašnjosti; od skromne domaće produkcije i rijetkih gostiju do međunarodnog festivala sa umjetnicima iz dvanaest zemalja Evrope... Takvim A TEMPOM govorili smo o potrebi unapređivanja naše kulture, posvećivanju pažnje muzici i ljudima koji se njome bave, i svjedočili želju da tome damo svoj doprinos. Deset godina festivala, novi prostori u kojima će se uskoro odvijati, ovogodišnje priredbe, posebno završni koncert kojim na specifičan način potvrđujemo svoj muzički identitet, govore o našim snovima, nastojanjima i dometima, o našem kontinuitetu kao prilogu našoj muzičkoj sadašnjosti, i vjerovanju da će A TEMPO postati dio naše muzičke tradicije. Zahvaljujemo svima sa kojima smo prvih deset godina stvarali A TEMPO. Vaši, ŽARKO MIRKOVIĆ JANKO LJUMOVIĆ Selektor festivala Producent festivala 3 en years of A TEMPO are symbol of perseverance and good sounding in the time of great changes. Based on the solid support of our dedication and the assistance of friends that grew together with the festival, from the very beginning we wanted to create, maintain and develop what what missing in our music life.

    TALK AT NY OPEN CENTER Three days after getting back from the trip to the Alternative Education Conference in Boulder, I was scheduled to speak at the New York Open Center, in New York City. This was set up at the suggestion of Center Director Ralph White, who had heard about my teacher education conferences in Russia, and wanted to share information about a new center they are setting up there. Although there were not many pre-registered, I was surprised to find an overflow audience at the Center, with great interest in educational alternatives. People who attended that presentation continue to contact us almost daily. The Open Center is a non-profit Holistic Learning Center, featuring a wide variety of presentations and workshops. 83 Spring St., NY, NY 10012. 212 219-2527. FERNANDEZ, MEIER, AND RILEY AT EWA MEETING At the Education Writers Conference in Boston, I got to meet the Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley. After he talking about the possibility of new national standards, a quasi-national curriculum, I told him that there were hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers and thousands of alternative schools that did not want a curriculum imposed on them. I asked him how he would approach that fact. He responded that "When we establish these standards they will uplift us all." I did not find that reply comforting. On the other hand, I am pleased that Madelin Kunin, former governor of Vermont, is the new Deputy Secretary of Education. She once spoke at the graduation of Shaker Mountain School when I was Headmaster, and is quite familiar with educational alternatives.

    SUMMER CAMPS, INSTITUTES The 2019 Musical America Guide & PROGRAMS November 2018 Editor’s Note SUMMER CAMPS, A friend of mine who edits books by day and plays the violin (rather well) by night says her The 2019 Musical America Guide summer “chamber music camp” is the highlight of her year. She describes one week of coaching INSTITUTES and performing in a string quartet, where many of the campers are new faces. The season is summer; the setting is bucolic—a college campus—and the attire is strictly casual. & PROGRAMS In our second annual Summer Camps, Institutes, and Programs Guide, you’ll find a number of these music-as-avocation summertime happenings, along with many pre-professional programs, for pre-teens to post grads. Some focus strictly on classical music; others cross over into pop and cabaret and some offer a full range, from jazz to band, theater, dance, and even the visual arts. The pre-college programs also tend to include the more traditional camp fare, such as horseback riding and archery. The Guide contains nearly 200 national and international listings. Some combine learning from the pros by day with listening to them perform by night. Others put the talent-in-training on stage and charge admission. Some take place over a weekend, others last all summer. At the Salzburg Summer Music Academy, 1,000 students work with a faculty of 70; at the Bang on a Can Summer Festival, the count is 40 teachers to 11 students; at NYO Jazz, it’s 22 to 10; at Tanglewood it’s 155 to 75.
