Students’ concert: Academy of Arts Novi Sad & Art Academy in Split – Gordan Tudor’s saxophone classes
Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, Centre for Contemporary Music within the Academy and the Vojvodina Composers’ Society founded the annual contemporary composition competition Rudolf Bruči, with the aim of fostering and expanding the contemporary repertoire. The initiators of this competition are assistant lecturers at the AUNS: saxophonist and composer, guest assistant lecturer Gordan Tudor together with the composer, assistant lecturer at the AUNS and manager of the Centre for Contemporary Music, Milan Aleksić. Instrument in the focus of the first competition was the saxophone, in three categories: solo saxophone, saxophone and piano, saxophone quartet (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone). It is a national competition and the right to participate was given to all the citizens of the Republic of Serbia, regardless of age. Out of the 20 compositions, the jury (Zoran Erić, Stevan Divjaković, Aleksandra Vrebalov, Smiljana Vlajić and Gordan Tudor) gave out two first prizes, two second prizes and a third prize. The winner of the third prize is Nenad Stefanović (Sonata for baritone saxophone and piano), winning the second prize were Tamara Lazić (E-Rhapsody, for saxophone quartet) and Damjan Jovičin (Morning in park Manjež, for alto saxophone), and the winners of the first prize, that includes a first performance and visit at the Showroom of Contemporary Sound in Zagreb, are Vladimir Korać (Fragments of green, for saxophone quartet) and Đorđe Marković (Three Images for Four Saxophones). Along with encouraging the composers at a national scale, the Competition Rudolf Bruči also promotes the performance of new pieces, but also the international collaboration: apart from the Showroom of Contemporary Sound, the award includes performance at the Liszt Ferenc Academy in Budapest, at a festival of contemporary music in Split and at a concert in Novi Sad. Apart from the two winners of the competition and the initiators of the competition, this year’s Showroom also welcomes saxophone students from the class of Gordan Tudor – members of the young saxophone quartet Quattro Temperamenti, professors Timea Kalmar and Bunford Gabor, as well as the students of the Art Academy in Split and the Music Academy in Ljubljana.
Gordan Tudor’s assistant at the Academy of Arts Novi Sad is Bunford Gabor.
