Ivo Pogorelić and Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra

Ivo Pogorelić was born in Belgrade, He received his first piano lessons when he was seven and attended the Vojislav Vučković Music School in Belgrade until he was 12, when he was invited to Moscow to continue his studies where he has finished them.

In 1986, Pogorelić established a foundation in Croatia to further the careers of young performers from his homeland. In 1988, he was named an Ambassador of Goodwill by UNESCO, the first classical pianist ever so appointed.

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.
