ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The association “HAMMER” Piano Festival was founded in 2021, with the aim of launching a classical
piano music festival of the same name, but also with the aim of music education and promotion of culture and art in Nis and the region. The vision of the association and the organizational team of the festival is to create a prestigious piano music festival, which will elevate the cultural content of the city and provide the opportunity for classical music lovers to enjoy musical performances by renowned pianists from Serbia and the world. The festival was conceived as a new cultural event in Niš, which promotes and nurtures classical piano music, by organizing a festival of major national and international pianists.
The idea of the festival is to promote piano music, which includes solo concerts and piano chamber ensembles through different eras. Live performances of accomplished artists are an indispensable part of the musical education of students, who in this way directly participate in the
creation of works of art. Achieved music teachers, performers, authors, musicologists and music
producers are offered the opportunity for further artistic and professional development, since quality
performance can be inspiring to them. Fans of classical music and a wider audience are offered a diverse
and rich program of the festival, especially at a time when the current pandemic has significantly
reduced the offer of quality content.
