The pianist of topmost professional performances and outstanding individuality, Kristijan Karovski, yesterday evening enriched the repertoire of the 62nd Ohrid Summer Festival together with his colleague and student, Mimi Ducheva.
Both artists on four-hand piano showed their extraordinary talent performing the Schubert’s “Fantasy in F minor), the “Six Pieces” by Sergey Rachmaninov and “La Waltz” by Moris Ravel. Besides the perfect sound coming from the compositions for four-hand piano, the evening under the arches of St Sophia was filled with the ovations by the audiences as a rewards for both pianists giving an amazing music experience.
Both Karovski and Ducheva have their solo careers, but they devotedly collaborate performing chamber music, sometimes for four-hand or eight-hand piano.
– Our work was full of enthusiasm, youth, joy and enjoyment, but also a lot of effort. I have once treated Mimi as a student, but she is an especially gifted person and thet is why I chose her to perform together, because our playing is equal in quality. We presented part of our repertoire suitable for the Festival. The whole organization of the concert was amazing. Many thanks to the director Natasha Popovikj, the selector Bisera Chadlovska and the whole team of Ohrid Summer Festival, said the pianist Karovski.

It is a huge honour and pleasure to play with professor Kristijan Karovski, said the young pianist Ducheva.In the long pedagogy career, Karovski has affirmed himself as an outstanding piano teacher.
