On May 31, in the large hall of the Belgrade Youth Center, starting at 8 p.m., all jazz connoisseurs can expect an exceptional concert by RTS Big Band and Igor Vince, where the music of this artist with a unique musical expression will be premiered in arrangements written for a large jazz orchestra. The audience will be able to enjoy from very energetic, rhythm-charged tracks and penetrating brass lines, to the most subtle ballads, Igor in his own unique way plays with genres such as funk, soul, rock, reggae, r’n’b, worldbeat, afrobeat, jazz and pop.

Composer, author, vocal soloist and instrumentalist Igor Vince announces this collaboration with undisguised enthusiasm.

The RTS Big Band, the only professional Serbian Jazz ensemble, was established in 1948 in the form of a Big Band. It was quickly recognised as a group of performers with excellent interpretational abilities, with its prominent conductors, composers and arrangers that have been guiding it ever since. Some of them are: Mladen Bobi Guteša, Vojislav Bubiša Simić, Zvonimir Skerl, Duško Gojković, Stjepko Gut.

Today, the RTS Big Band is a modern orchestra that realises successful concert seasons by performing with the most eminent contemporary foreign and domestic performers. In its performing oeuvre, it nourishes the tradition of jazz music by successfully meeting the requirements and interpretations of the modern Big Band music of the 21st century. A special place in the ensemble’s repertoire belongs to the cultivation of jazz music, inspired by the domestic musical heritage, which significantly contributes to the preservation and public promotion of the national cultural tradition, presented with a new sound. Depending on the requirements of the programme and the concert, the RTS Big Band also performs as a revue orchestra, along with the members of different RTS Music Production ensembles, thus expanding the repertoire with popular compositions of various genres.

This concert will be realized as part of the program-business cooperation between RTS Music Production and Belgrade Youth Center.

Tickets are available in advance at the Youth Center of Belgrade Box Office and online at Tickets.rs at the price of 1000 RSD.
