Concert description

An evening woven from the most beautiful notes of domestic and international evergreen music will take place on Thursday, 25 June 2026, in the Main Hall of Dom omladine, Belgrade. The program will feature classics of popular music from different eras — songs whose timeless value has bridged generations and remained deeply imprinted in musical memory. Performers: Stefan Pavlović (bass-baritone), Anastasija Pavlović (mezzo-soprano), Nevena Živković (piano) and special guest Dimitrije Milojkić (accordion).

The program will include the most famous numbers from various regions: from Italy to Russia, from Cuba to England, and, of course, from our country. The repertoire includes "Bésame mucho", "Strangers in the Night", "Historia de un amor", "Libertango", "Oči čornije", "Those Were the Days", "Can’t Help Falling in Love", "Kaljinka", "Moon River", "Bila je tako lijepa", "Zlatni dan" and a series of other songs that have marked the history of popular music. In authentic interpretations by our distinguished artists, these well-known melodies gain new emotional freshness and a contemporary, vivid expression. We invite you to a concert where familiar melodies will be experienced in a new way — with music we always gladly return to, because it carries a beauty that does not fade.
