Concert of classical music in Apollonia
Concert night with accordions was the name of the seventh con-cert of classical music from the program “Gevgelija spring 2010”. On the 27th of May in Apollonia Hotel for the first time the public of Gev-gelija had an opportunity to see accordion concert with dozen stu-dents from the class of professor Zorica Karakutovska. Trough their performance of 20 pieces from famous masters of composing like Matveev, Vlasov, Grig, Bizov, Kusjakov, Veber, Semjonov, Pjacola, Gardel, Derbenko the young students showed their musical maturity.
Before the concert their professor Zorica expressed her gratitude for the support of Apollonia Foundation and effort of bringing the concert program close to other cities besides Skopje by organizing this event “Gevgelija music moments” constantly in the last decade. Zorica
Karakutovska has won more then 130 prices with her students on many state and international competitions, we’ll mention few: 3rd place in chamber music category for the “World cup 2002” in Denmark, 3rd place for piano accor-dion on the “World cup 2004” in France, “Klementina Rafajlovska” award, Grand prix award on State competition for music students, winner of the annual price for best pedagogue in music area given by the Association of music and ballet pedagogues of Macedonia.

On the 25th of May in Apollonia Hotel was held poetry night and promotion of the book “Wishful desires” from Ljubica Sto-jceva from Gevgelija. The professor Ilija Karajanov for this poetry work will say that it represents imaginary dialogue with the beauty of living, desire of youth love and traveling through the pages of light. The poetess is searching for the invisible and hidden worlds of youthful emotions. Writes with honesty, opens her soul and as seis-mometer notices the waves, desires and anxiety of one unrepeatable adolescence. At the end of the books critic Karajanov will say “We hope that the lines from the lyric writing will reach Australia, where the poetess lives now, and initiate new arts as
symbol of philanthropy, altruism and sublime civil and cosmopolitan values.”
… Flowerless gardens are born in spring, inspiring desires, hope and spring, The sun arcs are drinking the joy,
unstoppably casting the soft light…
Quote from the song “For you, my hometown”

On the 29th of May
the flute students in the
class of professor Suz-
ana Stefanova - Nada
Gogova, Sara Stamkova,
Kostovska Ivana and
Ana Gocevska from the
musical school Vaso
Karajanov from Gev-
gelija, participated in
the first flute festival of
students from the
music primary schools
and high schools
i n M a c e d o n i a .
Organizer of the
event was the school in
Kavadarci “Lazo Micev - Rale” in the frames of the
manifestation “Kavadarci - town of culture” and sup-
ported by the Ministry of education and science. The
festival had representative character where students
had an opportunity to meet, associate and play music
together with other students from Skopje, Tetovo,
Ohrid and Kavadarci.
Apollonia Foundation supported this activity of
these young music talents by sponsoring their trip to
Kavadarci.
On the 13th of May in the exhibitory parlor Apollonia
Hotel was opened the exhibition called “Ethno moments” of
Gevgelia artist Dragi Hadzi-Nikolov Adzi. This event is part of the
celebration program on the Day of St. Spas who is the patron of
Gevgelija. The exhibition was opened by the president of the
Macedonian Academy of Science and Arts professor Georgi
Stardelov, who noticed that the arts of Adzi have many objects
and items that no longer exists in the everyday practice, and
this reminded him on the past and the childhood. “Maybe
Dostoevsky was right when he said the beauty will save the
world, here is one more proof for that the beauty does every-
thing so that we are joyful, humanitarians, that we
are lighten with God’s strains, so let’s all hold up
together, let’s believe in light and beauty.” Dragi
Hadzi-Nikolov - Adzi was born on 4th of July 1956 in
Skopje. He graduated at the Faculty of fine arts-
Painting in Skopje. He is married and has two chil-
dren. Lives and works in Gevgelija.
