Here is a lesson from Serbian musician Goran Bregovic: Don’t always take your teacher's word as gold.
He was kicked out of the musical school for being “untalented.”
With a zest for innovations and experiment, guitarist Bregovic has been trying himself as a solo musician and also together with different bands.
In 1997, the Serb founded Weddings and Funerals Orchestra that consist of almost 40 musicians.
He composes Balkan and gypsy style music, often heavy on brass and tango rhythms.
In the orchestra he plays the guitar at the same time as he’s conducting the show. It’d be interesting to see what his teachers have to say now.
Wednesday, April 20, Palats Ukraina, 103 Velyka Vasylkivska St., 247-2303. Tickets: Hr 180-2,250.
