The Franjo Lučić Art School from Velika Gorica celebrated its 50th anniversary with a series of concerts in 2023/2024 season. Krešimr Starčević started learning piano there at the end of 2000, when he was only 12 years old, in the class of Andreja Markulin, with whom he completed his elementary and high school music education.
One of the School’s anniversary concerts was held on June 18, 2024, in the Galženica Hall in Velika Gorica. Along with other musicians, Krešimir Starčević performed as a soloist and chamber musician. He played the now almost forgotten Piano Sonata in G minor, WAB 243, by Anton Bruckner, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his birth. It was the first performance of this work in Croatia!
As a chamber musician, he performed Francis Poulenc’s Sonata for
Clarinet and Piano, FB 184, with Marko Zavišić, and two compositions
originally written for violin and piano, but arranged for tamburitza and piano
– Meditation by Boris Papandopoulo and Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20, by Pablo
de Sarasate, both with Danijel Tomašević.
