Vladimir Milošević - umetnik u usponu

Pijanista Vladimir Milošević, docent Fakulteta muzičke umetnosti u Beogradu, izabran je za "umetnika u usponu" na nedavnom konkursu američke Asocijacije njujorških koncertnih umetnika, koja se bavi promocijom i lansiranjem mladih umetnika u svetu. Na konkursu su učestvovali muzičari iz celog sveta, a Asocijacija je Miloševića proglasila najboljim.

.

- Kao pobednik, dobio sam mogućnost da nastupim sa Simfonijskim orkestrom Njujorških koncertnih umetnika u sezoni 2013/2014. Koncert će najverovatnije biti u maju sledeće godine. Krajem leta će se znati i tačan repertoar - kaže za "Novosti" Vladimir Milošević. - Nastup u Karnegi holu pre nekoliko godina bio je ostvarenje jednog velikog sna, a ovim koncertom ostvariće mi se još jedan.

Srpskog pijanistu 18. aprila očekuje i nastup u Marinskom teatru, u Sankt Peterburgu. U dvorani "ruskog Karnegi hola" Milošević će nastupiti sa čelistom Draganom Đorđevićem, a izvešće celovečernji resital.

U svetu je mnogo vrhunskih pijanista i teško je izboriti se za svoje mesto. Naš sagovornik, međutim, smatra da je konkurencija uvek dobrodošla.

- To me inspiriše da još više radim na sebi, da budem u dobroj formi. Za muzičara je veoma važno da ima kvalitetnu konkurenciju. Osim toga, stalno učim nova dela, i tako izgrađujem i usavršavam sebe.

Osim nespornog talenta, da bi se uspelo na međunarodnoj sceni, smatra Milošević, potrebno je "mnogo rada i sreće". Ako imate kvalitet i talenat, kaže, nije presudno iz koje zemlje dolazite. Mada više ne odlazi na takmičenja, i dalje pamti kako je teško obezbediti novac za putovanja i nastupe širom sveta.

- Muzičari nemaju nikakvu pomoć države, moraju da se snalaze kako znaju. Nekad imaju sreće da im organizator takmičenja pokrije troškove, u protivnom, umetnici u usponu moraju da se oslone na roditelje ili potraže pomoć sponzora. Država malo ulaže u umetnost i negovanje kulture uopšte - kaže naš sagovornik.

Za razliku od Srbije, Nemačka i Francuska imaju veliko poštovanje prema klasičnoj muzici i umetnicima.

- Tamo je mnogo veća konkurencija i teže je izboriti se za svoje mesto, ali, s druge strane, i u najmanjim mestima postoje koncertne sale. Svira se u crkvama, u raznim kulturnim društvima, što muzičarima omogućava da imaju redovne nastupe - kaže srpski pijanista.

Notes On Ecumenism

Written in 1972 by St. Abba Justin Popovich, edited by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich, translated from Serbian by Aleksandra Stojanovich, and proofread by Fr Miroljub Ruzich

Abba Justin’s manuscript legacy (on which Bishop Athanasius have been working for a couple of years preparing an edition of The Complete Works ), also includes a parcel of sheets/small sheets of paper (in the 1/4 A4 size) with the notes on Ecumenism (written in pencil and dating from the period when he was working on his book “The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism”; there are also references to the writings of St. Bishop Nikolai [Velimirovich], short excerpts copied from his Sermons, some of which were quoted in the book).

The editor presents the Notes authentically, as he has found them in the manuscripts (his words inserted in the text, as clarification, are put between the slashes /…/; all the footnotes are ours).—In the appendix are present the facsimiles of the majority of Abba’s Notes which were supposed to be included in his book On Ecumenism (written in haste then, but now significantly supplemented with these Notes. The Notes make evident the full extent of Justin’s profundity as a theologian and ecclesiologist of the authentic Orthodoxy).—The real Justin is present in these Notes: by his original language, style, literature, polemics, philosophy, theology, and above all by his confession of the God-man Christ and His Church. He confesses his faith, tradition, experience and his perspective on man, on the world and on Europe—invariably in the Church and from the Church, in the God-man Christ and from Him, just as he did in all of his writings and in his entire life and theologizing.
