Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra - Sarajevo Winter Festival

Piano - Peter Jablonski

Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra is the first professionally organized symphonic orchestra in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its foundation was already rooted in ensembles established during the Austro-Hungarian rule of our country.

Since 1923, the existence of the Philharmonic Orchestra in Bosnia and Herzegovina represents one of the pillars of music culture and the music institution of the fundamental significance for Sarajevo and Bosnian region.

Counting decades of work in the environment where social developments ruthlessly affect the cultural circumstances, the Philharmonic Orchestra has been repeatedly forced to start reprinting the pages of its history.

Award-winning Swedish-Polish pianist Peter Jablonski is internationally acclaimed for a natural fluency of playing which, coupled with an extraordinarily deep knowledge of piano repertoire, makes his performances timeless and captivating. He has performed and recorded all piano concertos by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Bartók, and all piano sonatas by Prokofiev. He also has a deep appreciation for lesser-explored corners of the pianist’s repertoire, such as Barber, Gershwin, Szymanowski, Lutosławski, and Copland.
