Outstanding soloists, such as cellist Istvan Vardai, violinists Agata Szymczewska and Robert Lakatoš, ensembles – Radio and Television of Serbia Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra Ljubica Marić, Camerata Janaček and the ArtLink Young Virtuosi, as well as the young artists from the Balkans, are featured on this unique CD release.

During the promotional event at “Parobrod”, Ms Jovanka Višekruna Janković, the artistic director of ArtLink, presented the young artist and members of the “ArtLink Young Virtuosi” ensemble, who performed works by Mozart, Vivaldi, Bartok, Martinů and Wieniawski.
