AMERICA 250 – The Evolution of Keys – The Spirit of Innovation / The Sound of Freedom

A unique pianistic concert spectacle that brings to life the fascinating musical history of the American continent through three different pianos on stage. The concert is conceived as a journey through time—from salon roots to the avant-garde, jazz, and the contemporary era—highlighting the spirit of freedom and innovation that has shaped the global musical landscape.

Bartolomej Stanković’s concert within this year’s Baščaršija Nights Festival is a unique pianistic and musicological undertaking that offers local audiences an entirely new perspective on American art and culture. The lecture-recital format, employing three pianos—from a salon upright piano to John Cage’s avant-garde prepared piano—provides an educational, dynamic, and aesthetically exceptional experience
