Đina Perazić, a young pianist from Montenegro, recently performed as a soloist with the Festival Orchestra of Montenegro, sharing the stage with her brother, a violinist.
The concert, titled “Waiting for your sign,” featured a piece by their father, Igor Perazić, a composer and cellist, symbolizing the family’s deep connection to music. Perazić grew up in a home filled with music, surrounded by musician parents and siblings, fostering both discipline and artistic expression.
Perazić and her brother, Luka Perazić, have continued their family’s musical tradition while striving to develop their own unique artistic voices. The Festival Orchestra of Montenegro itself is comprised of young musicians who study at leading European academies and are now returning to contribute to Montenegro’s artistic scene. Performing with the orchestra felt like joining a larger “musical family,” offering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
After studying and performing abroad, Perazić chose to return to Montenegro, wanting to share the knowledge and experience she gained with her home country. She believes that embracing diversity and experimentation is crucial for artistic growth, and hopes to contribute to a more open and vibrant musical landscape in Montenegro. Perazić sees a growing number of ensembles, festivals, and innovative projects emerging within the country’s music scene.
