R\u00e1da bych za\u010dala touto fotkou z lo\u0148sk\u00e9ho vyhl\u00e1\u0161en\u00ed. Jak jste se v t\u00e9 chv\u00edli c\u00edtila?<\/b><\/p>\n

Tahle fotka je m\u00e1 obl\u00edben\u00e1! Byla jsem v\u00a0\u0161oku. Nemyslela jsem si, \u017ee m\u00e1m \u0161anci, tak\u017ee m\u011b opravdu p\u0159ekvapilo, kdy\u017e m\u011b vyhl\u00e1sili jako laure\u00e1tku. Ne\u010dekala jsem to a st\u00e1le jsem se s\u00a0t\u00edm nesrovnala.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tak\u017ee v\u00edt\u011bzstv\u00ed nebylo va\u0161\u00edm hlavn\u00edm c\u00edlem?<\/b><\/p>\n

Trochu ano, ale nemyslela jsem si, \u017ee by to vy\u0161lo. Alespo\u0148 ne je\u0161t\u011b te\u010f, kdy\u017e mi bylo 13. Nem\u011bla jsem absolutn\u011b \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e1 o\u010dek\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jak byste s odstupem jednoho roku ohodnotila sv\u016fj v\u00fdkon?<\/b><\/p>\n

Do sout\u011b\u017ee jsem \u0161la s\u00a0nulov\u00fdmi o\u010dek\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00edmi. Doufala jsem\u00a0t\u0159eba v t\u0159et\u00ed m\u00edsto ve sv\u00e9 kategorii, nic v\u00edc, i to by byl obrovsk\u00fd \u00fasp\u011bch vzhledem k\u00a0presti\u017ei sout\u011b\u017ee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Na za\u010d\u00e1tku skladby jsem ud\u011blala drobnou chybu, trochu mi to ujelo. A jeliko\u017e se to stalo v\u00a0p\u00e1t\u00e9m taktu na za\u010d\u00e1tku, tak jsem si \u0159\u00edkala: \u201eNo, a je konec.\u201c Kdy\u017e jsem potom postoupila do druh\u00e9ho kola, byla jsem p\u0159ekvapen\u00e1, ale motivovalo m\u011b to podat dobr\u00fd v\u00fdkon. Zahr\u00e1la jsem nejlep\u0161\u00ed vystoupen\u00ed sv\u00e9ho \u017eivota.<\/span><\/p>\n

Porota va\u0161e vystoupen\u00ed ozna\u010dila jako \u201cpln\u00e9 emoc\u00ed\u201d. Znamen\u00e1 to, \u017ee jste si ho u\u017eila?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ano, u\u017eila jsem si ho moc. Nav\u00edc je tu \u00fa\u017easn\u00e1 akustika, mus\u00edm to zm\u00ednit, proto\u017ee jsem nevid\u011bla moc um\u011bleck\u00fdch \u0161kol s\u00a0takovou akustikou. Vystupuj\u00edc\u00edm opravdu pom\u016f\u017ee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hr\u00e1la jste Saint Sa\u00ebnsa \u2013 co v\u00e1s motivovalo k v\u00fdb\u011bru tohoto konkr\u00e9tn\u00edho reperto\u00e1ru?<\/b><\/p>\n

Hr\u00e1la jsem Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u016fv<\/span> Koncert \u010d\u00edslo 3<\/span><\/i>, tu\u0161\u00edm \u017ee v\u00a0h moll. Zpo\u010d\u00e1tku se mi skladba moc nezamlouvala, ale b\u011bhem hran\u00ed jsem se do n\u00ed zamilovala. Samoz\u0159ejm\u011b je to tak\u00e9 jeden z\u00a0d\u016fvod\u016f m\u00e9ho v\u00edt\u011bzstv\u00ed, porota mi pak tuto skladbu ur\u010dila i pro z\u00e1v\u011bre\u010dn\u00fd koncert.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nejste prvn\u00ed laure\u00e1tkou ze Srbska, p\u0159ed v\u00e1mi titul obdr\u017eel Stefan Milenkovi\u010d. Vy dva jste se vloni potkali, p\u0159i jak\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitosti?<\/b><\/p>\n

Vlastn\u011b jsme se potkali u\u017e v b\u0159eznu 2021 b\u011bhem online semin\u00e1\u0159e. Je to vynikaj\u00edc\u00ed u\u010ditel. Motivoval m\u011b k\u00a0tomu, abych se stala nejen lep\u0161\u00ed houslistkou, ale i lep\u0161\u00edm \u010dlov\u011bkem.\u00a0 Pozd\u011bji v\u00a0l\u00e9t\u011b jsem se z\u00fa\u010dastnila jeho masterclass v\u00a0\u010ca\u010daku. V\u00a0roce 2022 to bylo je\u0161t\u011b lep\u0161\u00ed. M\u00e1m velkou radost, \u017ee dal\u0161\u00edm laure\u00e1tem ze Srbska jsem pr\u00e1v\u011b j\u00e1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalo by se \u0159\u00edct, \u017ee je Milenkovi\u010d v\u00e1\u0161 hudebn\u00ed vzor?<\/b><\/p>\n

Rozhodn\u011b. Jedn\u00edm z\u00a0mnoha, mezi dal\u0161\u00ed pat\u0159\u00ed t\u0159eba Maxim Vengerov, Hilary Hahn nebo Mar\u00eda Due\u00f1as. A samoz\u0159ejm\u011b moje u\u010ditelka, je \u00fa\u017easn\u00e1. Pomohla mi vyvinout se z\u00a0mal\u00e9ho fidlaj\u00edc\u00edho d\u00edt\u011bte ve skute\u010dnou houslistku. Pracuje se mnou od m\u00fdch deseti let.<\/span><\/p>\n

Otev\u0159el v\u00e1m laure\u00e1tsk\u00fd titul dve\u0159e do sv\u011bta?<\/b><\/p>\n

Otev\u0159el, hodn\u011b. A nejedn\u00e1 se jenom o nov\u00e9 mo\u017enosti, ale uv\u011bdomila jsem si, \u017ee jsem v\u00e1\u017en\u011b schopn\u00e1 houslistka a dok\u00e1\u017eu vyhr\u00e1t velkou sout\u011b\u017e. Pomohlo mi to vybudovat sebev\u011bdom\u00ed. D\u00edky tomu m\u00e1 kari\u00e9ra posko\u010dila, m\u00e1m te\u010f v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed ohlas nejen v\u00a0Srbsku a tady v\u00a0\u010cesku, ale i v\u00a0cel\u00e9 Evrop\u011b. Jsem za to neskonal\u00e9 vd\u011b\u010dn\u00e1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minul\u00fd rok jste hr\u00e1la na mnoha m\u00edstech, mohla byste zm\u00ednit ta, kter\u00e1 pro v\u00e1s byla nejv\u00fdznamn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed?<\/b><\/p>\n

Koci\u00e1nka mi otev\u0159ela mnoho mo\u017enost\u00ed. Mezi nejv\u00fdznamn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed bych za\u0159adila recit\u00e1ly v\u00a0Lublani, v\u00a0Koncertn\u00ed s\u00edni Iliji Kolaraca a v\u00a0Muzeu historie v\u00a0B\u011blehradu, v\u00a0Koncertn\u00ed s\u00edni m\u011bsta Novi Sad, d\u00e1le pak koncert se symfonick\u00fdm orchestrem Danube v\u00a0Budape\u0161ti, se sborem Camerata Novi Sad a vystoupen\u00ed na Exit festivalu se souborem Camerata Balkanika, co\u017e bylo prvn\u00ed vystoupen\u00ed klasick\u00e9 hudby na tomto festivalu.<\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00e1te n\u011bjak\u00e9 konkr\u00e9tn\u00ed hudebn\u00ed pl\u00e1ny do budoucna? \u010ceho byste r\u00e1da dos\u00e1hla?<\/b><\/p>\n

R\u00e1da bych se stala p\u0159edev\u0161\u00edm s\u00f3listkou, zjistila jsem, \u017ee hran\u00ed s\u00f3lo mi vyhovuje mnohem v\u00edc ne\u017e t\u0159eba v\u00a0orchestru. R\u00e1da vystupuji ve velk\u00fdch s\u00e1lech. Jeden c\u00edl jsem si vyty\u010dila p\u0159ed p\u00e1r m\u011bs\u00edci, a t\u00edm je \u00fa\u010dast na presti\u017en\u00ed sout\u011b\u017ei pro ml\u00e1de\u017e. Douf\u00e1m, \u017ee se ze m\u011b jednou stane vynikaj\u00edc\u00ed houslistka a um\u011blkyn\u011b.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cht\u011bla byste v\u00a0budoucnosti i u\u010dit?<\/b><\/p>\n

Nejsp\u00ed\u0161 ano. R\u00e1da bych pom\u00e1hala mal\u00fdm d\u011btem, co s\u00a0houslemi teprve za\u010d\u00ednaj\u00ed. Vzpom\u00edn\u00e1m, jak moc mi m\u00e1 u\u010ditelka pomohla b\u00fdt lep\u0161\u00ed um\u011blkyn\u00ed a \u010dlov\u011bkem, r\u00e1da bych jednoho dne byla takov\u00fdm vzorem pro n\u011bkoho jin\u00e9ho.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moje maminka t\u00e9\u017e u\u010d\u00ed hru na housle. Kdy\u017e jsem vyr\u016fstala, pozorovala jsem ji a jej\u00ed studenty. Vtipn\u00e9 je, \u017ee kdy\u017e mi bylo sotva p\u00e1r m\u011bs\u00edc\u016f, vzala jsem si hra\u010dku, usadila se u n\u00ed a v\u00a0tichosti poslouchala, jak u\u010d\u00ed. Jej\u00ed technika a zvuk housl\u00ed mi u\u010darovala. M\u016fj tat\u00ednek je nav\u00edc opern\u00ed zp\u011bv\u00e1k, tak\u017ee svou prvn\u00ed operu jsem vid\u011bla v\u00a0hodn\u011b ran\u00e9m v\u011bku.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jezd\u00ed se mnou \u00fapln\u011b v\u0161ude, je to takov\u00e1 terapeutick\u00e1 ko\u010dka pro moji ment\u00e1ln\u00ed pohodu. M\u011b m\u00e1 nejrad\u0161i, co\u017e je skv\u011bl\u00e9, proto\u017ee m\u00e1me je\u0161t\u011b dv\u011b ko\u010dky a ty m\u011b moc nemus\u00ed.

Ano, je tady. Minul\u00fd rok mi tady na Kociance neskute\u010dn\u011b pomohla zvl\u00e1dat stres.

Pamatuji si, \u017ee ve\u010der p\u0159ed druh\u00fdm kolem jsem za\u010dala pod n\u00e1tlakem bre\u010det, Ellie mi vysko\u010dila na kl\u00edn a za\u010dala m\u0148oukat, jako kdyby cht\u011bla \u0159\u00edct: \u201eP\u0159esta\u0148, pro\u010d bre\u010d\u00ed\u0161?\u201c Za\u010dala p\u0159\u00edst a t\u00edm m\u011b uklidnila.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zahrajeme <\/span>Koncert \u010d. 5,<\/span><\/i> kter\u00fd slo\u017eil Henri Vieuxtemps.

M\u00e1m k\u00a0n\u00ed bl\u00edzko, nebo\u0165 mi hodn\u011b sedne jako um\u011blci. Kdy\u017e jsem ji hr\u00e1la poprv\u00e9, okam\u017eit\u011b jsem se do n\u00ed zamilovala kv\u016fli jej\u00ed s\u00edle. A p\u0159esn\u011b takov\u00e1 jsem moment\u00e1ln\u011b i j\u00e1.

Kocianovo \u00dast\u00ed nen\u00ed jedin\u00fd festival, na kter\u00e9m letos vystupujete. Kde jinde v\u00e1s mohou fanou\u0161ci vid\u011bt a sly\u0161et?<\/b><\/p>\n

Hraju je\u0161t\u011b na festivalu ve Skut\u010di. P\u0159\u00edjemn\u011b m\u011b p\u0159ekvapilo, kdy\u017e si m\u011b pozvali na dal\u0161\u00ed vystoupen\u00ed, myslela jsem, \u017ee ta r\u00e1diov\u00e1 nahr\u00e1vka a vystoupen\u00ed v\u00a0\u00dast\u00ed bude v\u0161e. Na koncert se moc t\u011b\u0161\u00edm, vystupov\u00e1n\u00ed na p\u00f3diu m\u011b inspiruje.

Nem\u016f\u017eu se do\u010dkat, tyhle dva koncerty budou zat\u00edm nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed, co jsem kdy odehr\u00e1la.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minul\u00fd rok jsem sem p\u0159ijela jako d\u00edvka bez jak\u00fdchkoliv nad\u011bj\u00ed. A \u0159ekla bych, \u017ee je lep\u0161\u00ed se s\u00a0t\u00edm tolik nestresovat. Nen\u00ed dobr\u00e9 \u0159\u00edkat si: \u201eMus\u00edm to vyhr\u00e1t!\u201c Jeden \u010das jsem to d\u011blala a m\u016fj v\u00fdkon pak nebyl tak dobr\u00fd, vystresovalo m\u011b to. Samotn\u00e1 \u00fa\u010dast na sout\u011b\u017ei je obrovsk\u00fd \u00fasp\u011bch, m\u00edt kur\u00e1\u017e vyrazit na tak presti\u017en\u00ed akci je obdivuhodn\u00e9 a u\u017e to z\u00a0v\u00e1s d\u011bl\u00e1 v\u00edt\u011bze.

A comeback of the Kocianka laureate is always a special event. That is also the case of 14-year-old Lana Zorjan who became the 64th competition laureate and won the hearts of everyone. This year, she returned to \u00dast\u00ed accompanied by her mother, Arabela, and her teacher, Ivana A\u0107imoski-\u017diki\u0107. \u201c<\/span>She has helped me develop from a little kid into a true violinist,\u201d says she about her teacher.\u00a0 Is the winning team complete? Certainly not! We cannot forget Ellie the cat. \u201cLast year at the Kocian competition, she truly helped me cope with all this stress. If I wouldn\u2019t have her, I wouldn\u2019t have won.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to start with this particular photo. What were your emotions back then?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I love this photo! I was purely shocked! I didn’t think I stood a chance, so I was obviously surprised to hear that I won in the first place. I did not expect anything else. I still cannot process that feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it was not your main goal to win this competition?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It was my goal but I didn’t think it would actually happen. At least not at this time, at the age of 13. I did not expect absolutely anything. This was purely unexpected.<\/span><\/p>\n

How would you evaluate your last year’s performance?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I came to the competition with no expectations. I was just hoping for, let’s say, the third prize in my category and nothing more because that would already be a huge achievement for me since this is such a massive competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had a little mishap at the beginning of my performance in the first round, a slip of a finger. And since it happened on the fifth bar in the very beginning, I was thinking: \u201cOkay, I’m out.\u201d And then I went to the second round, which was already surprising, and it encouraged me to play well. And it was one of my best performances at that point.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jury said that your performance was emotional. Did you enjoy it?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah, I truly enjoyed it. And the acoustics are also amazing, which I have to mention because there are pretty much no art schools that have such amazing acoustics. That helps the performer a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I would say that the Kocian competition changed my life a lot. I mean, it’s a massive competition and I think it’s pretty cool to be its laureate.<\/span><\/p>\n

You played <\/b>Saint Sa\u00ebns<\/i><\/b> \u2013 why did you choose this repertoire?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I played the composition <\/span>Saint-Sa\u00ebns Concerto No. 3<\/span><\/i>, I think, in H-Minor. I didn’t like the first movement that much. But I fell in love with that concerto when playing it. And obviously, it is the reason why I won this competition because the jury chose me to play that concerto at the finishing concert.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are not the first Serbian to win the laureate title. The other is Stefan Milenkovich. I\u00a0know that you two met last year \u2013 on which occasion?<\/b><\/p>\n

We actually met in 2021 for the first time, I had an online class in March, and that was my first meeting with professor Stefan Milenkovich. He is an incredible professor. He encourages me so much to become a better person, not only a better violinist. And then, in 2021, I went to his masterclass in the summer in Cacak. And in 2022, it was even better. I’m just so honoured to be the next laureate after him from Serbia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is he your music role model?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah, definitely. One of many; I can name Maxim Vengerov, Hilary Hahn, and also Mar\u00eda Due\u00f1as. And also my professor. She’s such an amazing woman. She has helped me develop from a little kid into a true violinist. And she has worked with me since I was ten and a half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where did the laureate title get you? What doors did it open for you?<\/b><\/p>\n

In one word \u2013 many. It’s not only opened so many doors for me, but it also helped me realize that I am a good violinist. And I realized that I can win a big competition. It helped me build up my self-esteem. It pushed me forward so much and now I have a bigger name in Serbia, here in the Czech Republic, and around Europe. I’m just really thankful for everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year you played in many places. Can you name some that were important to you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Kocian opened many doors to concerts for me. Some of the most notable ones are a recital in Ljubljana, Slovenia, a recital in the Endowment of Ilija Kolarac and Museum of History in Belgrade, a recital in the City concert Hall of Novi Sad, a concert with symphony orchestra Danube in Budapest, Hungary, concert with Camerata Novi Sad in Synagogue, concert with Camerata Balkanika for the Exit festival which marked playing classical music for the first time in festival’s history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any concrete music life plans? What do you want to achieve?<\/b><\/p>\n

I definitely want to become a violin soloist, first and foremost, because I have found myself truly loving being a soloist much more than, let’s say, being in an orchestra. I love to perform a lot, all over the world in big concert halls. And one of my goals that appeared a couple of months ago is to attend a prestigious competition for seniors. I am hoping that I will grow into a great violinist and I will become a good artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want to teach in the future?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, probably. I would like to help little kids who are starting to play the violin. I know how much my professor helps me and how much she\u2019s helped me to become a better violinist and person. I would like to be that person for somebody else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My mother is a violin teacher too. I have grown up watching her teaching her students. And this is a really funny thing \u2013 when I was just a couple of months old, I would bring some of my toys, crawl to my mother teaching violin, sit there, and listen to the violin in silence. I was so mesmerized by the sound of the violin and by her teaching. My dad is an opera singer, I attended my first opera at just a couple of months old.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the readers really want to know is everything about your cat! What is her name and what is her main mission?<\/b><\/p>\n

(<\/span>laugh<\/span><\/i>) Her name is Eliana, we call her Ellie. She is such a sweet little creature; she\u2019s always laid back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does she travel a lot?<\/b><\/p>\n

She travels everywhere with me and she is my mental health buddy, a therapy cat. I’m her favourite person, which is great because our other two cats don’t like me that much. When they’re not in the mood for cuddling, they will just slap me in the face.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is she here with you in Litomy\u0161l?<\/b><\/p>\n

She’s here with me. Last year at the Kocian competition, she truly helped me cope with all this stress. Competitions are stressful. So, if I didn’t get that cat, I wouldn’t have won. I remember the night before the second round, I started crying from the stress and Ellie came into my lap, and she started meowing, as if to say \u201cStop crying. Why are you crying?\u201d She started purring and it calmed me down completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday you play with Pardubice Philharmonic in Ro\u0161kot Theatre. What can we look forward to? What are you playing there?<\/b><\/p>\n

I will be playing the Vieuxtemps\u2019 <\/span>Concerto No. 5<\/span><\/i>. It is a great concerto, powerful, but at the same time emotional, and technically difficult. I have a connection with that concerto because it fits my character as a player. The first day that I started playing it, I immediately fell in love with it because it has so much power. And that’s the type of player I am, at least currently. I hope that I will exceed everybody’s expectations because I have been practising a lot more than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you planning to go see this year\u2019s competitors playing and say hi to them?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, definitely. I want to listen to the third and fourth categories. Obviously, not the whole time because it will be long and I will not have the time because I will have to practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have some friends there and I’m just really looking forward to being there. And I remember last year when I saw Kai Gergov, who is the laureate of the 63<\/span>rd<\/span> competition, I was just stunned. It’s still incredible to me that I’m now going to be that person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kocian \u00dast\u00ed is not the only festival in the Czech Republic that you are playing at. Where else can we see you?<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a festival in Skute\u010d. I was pleasantly surprised that they even called me for another performance because I thought that I would only have the radio recording and the performance here at Kocian \u00dast\u00ed. And I’m still so excited to perform because I love the stage. I live for the stage and it inspires me so much. And I always play not as well at the rehearsals as I do during the performances. It has been like that for years. So I guess it\u2019s the stage that inspires me so much and I’m just so excited because these two concerts will be the biggest that I\u2019ve played so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think is the key to success in this kind of competition?<\/b><\/p>\n

Last year, I came here as a girl who did not have any expectations. And I think that it’s better not to put pressure on yourself. You can\u2019t tell yourself: \u201cI just have to win!\u201d I did that at some point and then I would not play as well. I would just stress myself out. Even coming to this competition is a huge success because having the courage to be here at such a prestigious event with all these amazing violinists is such a great honour and it’s already making you a winner. I think that you should enjoy your time on the stage because the judges will take notice of the comfort and emotion that you put into your playing, and it will transfer to them.<\/span><\/p>\n
