Djordje Nesic, a Serbian pianist with a long international career behind him, opened the Brasilia Jazz Meeting festival, held on 9 March at Caixa Cultural in Brasilia, with sponsorship of the Serbian Embassy to Brazil.

In a solo performance, he presented pieces by Serbian composers Vasilije Mokranjac, Dejan Despic and Marko Tajcevic. For the second part of the concert, he was joined by the soprano voice of Brazil's Diana Danieli to perform a potpourri of Serbian and Brazilian classical music, enriched by samba motifs and jazz ornaments. The audiences, among others, included Ambassadors from our region and members of the diaspora.



Before the recital, the pianist visited the Serbian Embassy in Brasilia to meet with Ambassador Veljko Lazic, on which occasion he emphasized his readiness for every form of cooperation aiming to promote Serbian artistic heritage.

The performance by Djordje Nesic was regarded as success in Brazilian artistic circles, while the audiences found the fusion of Serbian and Brazilian musical heritage to be very appealing. The event was widely covered by the media and reported on by the majority of portals covering culture in Brasilia.
