Despite all efforts to hold the concert, the Belgrade Philharmonic is canceling the performance planned for December 6 at Kolarac, under the baton of conductor Daniel Raiskin with soloist Robert Lakatos. Due to the difficulty of finding replacements for the musicians who cannot play tonight’s concert in a very short time, the Belgrade Philharmonic asks the audience for their understanding. All information about ticket refunds will be shared on our website at a later date.
On break during today’s dress rehearsal, a part of the musicians of the Belgrade Philharmonic decided to pay tribute to the victims of the tragedy in Novi Sad as a personal act. While the musicians were gathered on the crosswalk in Uzun Mirkova street, they were hit by a vehicle that passed through the gathered group of people without stopping. Four musicians of the Belgrade Philharmonic were injured in this incident. Members of the police arrived at the location of the incident shortly afterward to take statements, and ambulance workers tended to the injured and drove them to the emergency center to receive medical care.
