ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

OF ENSEMBLE METAMORPHOSIS

“Nowadays, freely and without a shred of exaggeration we can claim Saša Mirković is our best violist. But not only that – this charismatic artist full of enthusiasm, along with members of the Ensemble Metamorphosis, which always stands out as an inseparable parameter of his own success, realizes performances which are more and more better and always refreshed, receptive and full of quality programs. This allows artistic pursuit and perseverance, in the time we live and atmosphere that many people use as an excuse for their own failures, to take on a whole extra dimension”

-Ana Ćirica, music editor and the speaker for Radio Belgrade 2

  • „Either playing as a soloist, with his ensemble Metamorphosis or, traditionally for three years now, with an excellent musician Vladimir Blagojević, Saša Mirković, with his performances, sets an artistic benchmark over and over again…“

    Ana Ćirica, music editor and the speaker for Radio Belgrade 2

  • „Saša Mirković managed to transform his viola into suggestive emotional apparatus with emphasised rhetorical function…”
