– This year we worked in the Primary Music School “Metodi Patchev” in Ohrid. After a year of saying “drought”, we return to the traditional working atmosphere of the seminar. We used the experiences gained from last year to have continuity by working together, says the head of the seminar, violinist Emilio Percan.
