Goran Bojčevski
He can perform on stage as a soloist with a prominent European orchestra and excel in the great Mozart’s Concert for Clarinet and Orchestra, and the very next day he can attract audiences in some club with improvisations accompanied by his band. Critics consider him to be one of the most versatile clarinetists in the world.
He is committed to classical music, yet without prejudice to delve into ethno, jazz, and the Balkan music, which is due to his absolute sense of rhythm. The mixture of classical perfectionism, technical brilliance, and openness enables him to do cross-over, where he creatively fuses musical styles on the highest artistic level.
In his own compositions the Balkan soul meets with the European tradition through various musical styles and genres, which enthuse the festival visitors in Slovenia and Europe.
When I play classical music, I feel fantastic, but I cannot imagine my life without improvisation,
says Goran Bojčevski, the charismatic clarinet virtuoso from Macedonia, presently living and working in Slovenia.
Goran Bojčevski
Slovenski klarinetist makedonskoga porijekla Goran Bojčevski nosi u sebi dobru stranu podvojenosti: južnjačku strast, jer na jugu se rodio, te sjevernjačku strogost, jer je u Austriji studirao.
Goran Bojčevski je klasično obrazovani klarinetist, koji se odlično snalazi i u narodnoj, jazzerskoj, elektronskoj i drugim vrstama glazbe. Kaže da je glazba najuniverzalniji jezik, koji istovremeno definira svakoga pojedinca prema njegovoj kulturnoj pripadnosti. “Samo jedan glazbeni motiv može nam reći tko smo, zašto smo, što smo po prirodi, kako iskusimo vanjski svijet i ono što nosimo u sebi. Najbolja glazba dolazi kada smo iskreni prema sebi. Naprotiv, ako koristimo tonove samo kao sredstvo zadovoljavanja drugih i prilagodbe trendovima, gubimo kontakt s onim što svakoga od nas čini posebnim. “
