Slovenian Violinist Anja Bukovec is getting ready for her first world tour, which will take her to 14 cities worldwide. Bukovec will play 18 concerts, starting in Sarajevo on 22 March and concluding in the Israeli national opera house in Tel Aviv.
Together with pianist Simon Krecic, Bukovec will perform pieces by Slovenian composers Nina Senk, Jani Golob, Alojz Srebotnjak and Milko Lazar, agency Hommage said.
She will also perform works by Johannes Brahms, Manuel de Falla, George Gershwin, Maurice Ravel and John Williams.
The tour will take Bukovec to Skopje, Lisbon, Madrid, Kiev, Edinburgh, Washington, Kairo, Bratislava, Ottawa, Prague, Berlin and New York.
Bukovec started learning violin as a six-year old with professor Vildana Repse and continued her schooling at the Tartini music studio with professor Vasiliy Meljnikov.
She then enrolled in the Prague music conservatory, where her mentor was Jaroslav Foltyn. She graduated at the School of Higher Musical Education in Cologne under the wing of Igor Ozim and completed her post-graduate studies at the Ljubljana Academy of Music with Meljnikov.
Classical music being her first love, she also ventures to other genres, such as world music, pop and rock.
In March 2007, she published her first album, Gemini, bringing 12 works by Igor Stravinsky, Astor Piazzolla and George Gershwin.
