Igor Yakovenko — Shines 04.04.26/19.00 Bijela Dvorana Bar, Maršala Tito 10 @adriatic_open_school Composer and pianist Igor Yakovenko — one of the most original voices in Eastern European jazz — presents his new programme Shines. Buy tickets using qr code or profile header @open_music_school_ At the heart of Shines lies the idea of Slavic jazz: music where melody and harmony take the lead, where carefully shaped compositional forms grow out of the academic tradition, and where inner psychological depth keeps the listener in suspense until the very last bar. Yakovenko’s artistic journey is anything but ordinary. After earning a degree at an aerospace university, he chose to follow his lifelong passion for the piano, later studying at the Moscow Conservatory and continuing his jazz education with Igor Bril. This unique path shaped a musical language that unites precision of thought, academic melodicism, and the virtuosity and freedom of jazz rhythm. Igor will perform on the @feurich_vienna concert grand piano for the first time in Montenegro From the almost sonata-like cycle False Sonatas to the improvisational reimagining of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky in the album Promenade, Yakovenko’s work bridges tradition and innovation with remarkable subtlety. The new Shines program contains the best compositions of recent years, revealed through live improvisation. This is a brilliant example of modern piano music — deep, expressive and richly colored.
