Top Macedonian and world artists will perform at the 44th Days of Macedonian Music for a symbolic fee

The Union of Composers of Macedonia (SOKOM) simultaneously started the realization of its two oldest and most important events - the festival 44. Days of Macedonian music and music-scientific event 45. Struga music autumn.

The program of the 44th Days of Macedonian Music was opened with the concert "Vrutok" and a performance by the young pianist Ines Nedelkovska from the class of Professor Nina Kostova Janevska. The festival will take place from September 17 to October 15 and will cover 13 events.

In the most difficult and unpredictable 2020, DMM shone in its rebirth. We managed to make a festival on a world level, in three seasons, with a huge number of large and small ensembles, orchestras, genre diverse, with big names from the world and Macedonian scene. Despite all the circumstances, which did not go in our favor, we restored the shine and gave impetus for further development and trust. Such a 43rd edition of the festival won a new audience, which had, rightly, high expectations for what is to come.

Unfortunately, the line ministry did not share this view. This year, the festival will be held due to the good will of top Macedonian and world artists, who for a symbolic fee, perform to support their colleagues from SOKOM and DMM, as well as due to decades of fruitful cooperation with major national, educational and music institutions. which met our needs this year as well, as well as the help from European partners - emphasizes the composer Darija Andovska, artistic director of DMM 2021.
