\"\"<\/p>\n

The guitar duo Sr\u0111an Bulatovi\u0107 (dr. of classical guitar) and Marko Nik\u010devi\u0107 (flamenco guitarist and MS of audio technology) gained international recognition owing to their exceptional virtuosity and dynamic performances, including two famous concerts at Carnegie Hall (New York) in 2016 and 2017. Their unique musical expression combines the rhythm of the Balkans with the Mediterranean\u2019s beauty and Orient\u2019s mysticism, the primary stepping stone being the Montenegrin traditional heritage. They have been performing worldwide for 35 years, and what is characteristic of their compositions is the diversity of style, techniques and expression.<\/p>\n

Not only did they release albums for the well-known international labels such as Naxos and Navona Records, but their music has been broadcasted on the most prominent radio stations such as BBC Radio 3 and others across Europe and America.<\/p>\n

Europe Symphony<\/strong><\/p>\n

Europe Symphony is a contemporary large-format symphonic work that relies on the traditional symphonic sound of European classical music, enriched by expressive as well as modern melodies. The composition sails through a variety of music areas through five perspectives, \u00a0that \u00a0way making classical forms of art blend with the author\u2019s personal language. What is characteristic of the work are one-of-a-kind rhythmic patterns, the inspiration for which was the local tradition in which \u00a0the heritage of the \u00a0Balkans is recognizable, in addition to some \u00a0new orchestral takes \u00a0on everything,\u00a0 \u00a0making us practically hear every sound in a different color. The music in question represents an obvious relationship between structure and expression, the tension and dynamics being built through carefully crafted thematic units. Europe Symphony is a sort of a clash of tradition and modern expression, everything shaped through an authorial voice reflecting the diversity and rhythm of Europe and its parts.<\/p>\n

Oro <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oro is a concert piece intended for two guitars and \u00a0\u00a0a symphony orchestra, inspired by the Montenegrin traditional heritage and its unique sense of community. The work draws its inspiration from the energy and symbolism of the traditional folk dance- representing it as an expression of collective strength, rhythm and mutual connection. The base of a composition is a strong rhythmic current combined with the dynamic connection between the guitar and the orchestra, solo instruments not being dominant but each and every part of the piece having equal participation in the creation of one common musical whole. Through a contemporary compositional approach, traditional elements are transferred into an unique concert setting, retaining their authenticity.<\/p>\n

Oro is one powerful, energetic and self-explanatory piece that brings to the audience the spirit of the tradition and all that through modern expression, while at the same time promising an instant surge of emotions.<\/p>\n
