Information
the ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC AND BALLET PEDAGOGUES OF SERBIA
The Association was founded in 1954 and has over 1000 members from music schools, faculties, music academies, primary schools, specialized secondary schools and grammar schools from the whole territory of Serbia. The main activity of the Association is organizing seminars, specialized trainings, competitions, festivals, concerts, etc. in accordance with the curriculum which is developed each school year.
The Association also provides its support and opinion in awarding scholarships and educating young talented people in their own country and abroad; it also publishes textbooks and reference books as well as specialized informative magazines devoted to music and ballet pedagogy that affirm the activities of music and ballet pedagogues from Serbia and abroad. Each year the Association awards prizes to its members who have achieved educational successes through their annual work. The Association of Music and Ballet pedagogues of Serbia cooperates with other associations from the ex Yugoslav republics as well as with pedagogues from other countries. In addition, the Association also supports full cooperation and coordination of its activities with the Ministries of Education and Culture as well as with the city and local authorities.
One of the most important manifestations of the Association is the International
Competition of Young Musicians “Petar Konjovic”, which was held for the first
time in 1991. The name of the Competition is connected to Petar Konjovic, one of
the most important figures of Serbian culture. Since Petar Konjovic, who was a
composer, conductor, music writer, professor and rector of the Music Academy,
was also one of the founders and directors of the Musicology Institute SANU,
this very Gallery has become the traditional place for the opening of the
Competition. The international character of the Competition gives a chance to
young talented musicians from all over the world to meet their peers and to
compare their musical talent to each other.
The
international jury, consisting of distinguished domestic and foreign pedagogues
and eminent music professionals, awards the prizes and special recognitions by
applying very strict criteria for each discipline and category. In this way,
talented young musicians can realise and develop their music capacity, gain self
confidence for performances and develop a repertoire needed for going to other
international competitions.
Since 1998, the Competition “Petar Konjovic” has been an extraordinary member and in 2002 it became a regular member of the European Union of Music Competitions for Youth (EMCY) with headquarters in Munich. This membership is very important because it facilitates inclusion in modern tendencies of European music education.
Successful cooperation with this very important international organization can be seen through the participation of most successful competitors of the Competition “Petar Konjovic” in European concerts, seminars, music camps and international youth orchestras in Europe.
PETAR
KONJOVIC (1883-1970) is one of the most distinguished people in Serbian music of
the XX century. Konjovic was a composer, conductor, music writer, teacher,
professor and rector of the Music Academy in Belgrade, director of several opera
houses (Novi Sad, Zagreb, Osjek, Split) in the interwar period, the founder and
director of the Musicology Institute of the Serbian Academy of Science and a
foreign member of the Academy of Science and Art in Prague.
Konjovic’s creative opus is very extensive and is compromised of stage music (operas), symphony and chamber pieces, choirs and solo songs, miniatures for the piano, violin and cello. He had a remarkable contribution to almost all fields of Serbian music development. This can be reflected in the very elaborate and disbursed national direction which follows in the footsteps of Stevan Mokranjac, and foremost in the value of his creations that vary in genre, style, and richness of expression which integrates Konjovic’s work with the general European music trends of the beginning of the XX century.
Being nationally determined, Petar Konjovic’s musical language is founded on and
belongs to the period of late romanticism. However, it includes elements of
impressionism and expressionism which was characteristic for many composers of
1920s and 1930s (Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Sibelius). Likewise, his musical
directions towards folklore expressionism also included him in the group of
musicians close to Leosh Janachek, Bella Bartok, Igor Stravinsky which belong to
the early “Russian” period.
Konjovic’s
most important work belongs to the opera. This includes Slavic type musical
dramas such as “The Duke of Zeta” and “Koshtana”) but Konjovic’s contribution to
Serbian symphony music was also great. He was the author of the first symphony
in Serbian music (Symphony in C minor) and programme symphony variations (“In
the Country”). His instrumental and chamber pieces of work, as well as his large
vocal lyrics (more than 100 solo songs published in the collection of songs “My
Country” and “Lyrics”), confirms his determination to synthesize national and
modern tendencies in a deeply personal and creative way.
As a music
writer, Petar Konjovic is the author of broad erudition, versatile interest, and
was among the first ones in Serbia who wrote a monograph about two special
persons of Serbian music – Stevan Mokranjac and his contemporary, Miloje
Milojevic, Ph.D.
With his remarkable creative individuality, together with Stevan Hristic and
Miloje Milojevic, Konjovic inserted modern European trends into Serbian music
which became the safe creative basis for the future generations of Serbian
composers.
