Dreams and Dances

Piano Recital by Jovana Vakic

Join pianist Jovana Vakic for Dreams and Dances, a piano solo recital that explores the emotional depth and beauty of classical music. This richly poetic programme features works by J.S. Bach, Chopin, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Bartók, and Philip Glass — moving from baroque architecture to folk dances, mysticism, and meditative minimalism.

Through short spoken introductions, Jovana Vakic brings each piece to life, helping audiences connect more deeply with the music’s stories, composers, and emotional worlds.

Programme includes:

• Bach: Marcello Concerto in D minor
• Chopin: Nocturne Op. 48 No. 1
• Scriabin: Impromptus Op. 12 Nos. 1 & 2
• Rachmaninov: Élégie & Vocalise
• Debussy: Arabesque No. 1
