THE BALKAN ISLAND
BALKAN
2000 Scenography for the TV ethno music show THE BALKAN ISLAND
 The
Balkan Island is a musical-scenic project of Belgrade Television
based on the idea by Mihail Vukobratovic and inspired by the ethno
music BALKAN 2000 by composer Aleksandar - Sanja Ilic.
The
orchestration is based on a ethno string orchestra, percussions,
soloists on various ethnic instruments, a choir, vocal soloists
and the piano, with soloist - author Aleksandar Sanja Ilic. The
combination of digital music technology - /samples, loops, synthesizers/,
produces a sound which is contemporary, while the atmosphere itself
offers experience of times long behind us.
 At
the filming of THE BALKAN ISLAND all performers participated: The
RTS Choir, The St. George String Orchestra, Bora Dugic, Slobodan Trkulja,
Nenad Petrovic, Ceca Slavkovic, Brankica Vasic, Pavle Aksentijevic,
Darko Karajic, Papa Nik, Tibor Tot, Bane Kljajic, Natasa Jelic, Marijana
Kajalic, Goran Veljkovic, Dragomir Milenkovic, Dragan Djordjevic and
Ljuba Dimitrijevic, the Mimart
Theater Ballet and extras so that at one point there were about 95
performers on stage of the large TV studio symbolizing a stylized
island thus exceeding standard TV projects. The program is scheduled
for 9 January on TV Belgrade as part of New Year's program. |
