Music&More SummerFest

Music&More SummerFest International Classical Music Festival & Summer Academy in Trebinje, BiH (near Dubrovnik), via NYC 🎶 Designed in 1887 by J.

A rising star among international festivals, Music & More SummerFest is a unique two-week artistic experience of performance and individually tailored study. My goal as Founder and Director was to establish an intensive, interdisciplinary program that would offer a one-of-a-kind musical experience for all: students, faculty and audience. It’s a total artistic immersion where our faculty of world-r

enowned musicians will create deep artistic connections for students through the mastery of their craft and through collaboration, coaching sessions, and co-performing in concerts. The MMSF is small in size but big in heart; be ready to perform a lot, study a lot, study with different faculty, collaborate with different musicians, work on a variety of assignments, enjoy the sold-out venues, perform for the most appreciative and attentive audience, perform and/or hear a concert in a magical amphitheater, network and meet new friends, swim in the Adriatic and tour Dubrovnik, experience an amazing Mediterranean region and revel in one of the loveliest of all towns, Trebinje - a place that has captured people's hearts and inspired us all to desire more performing arts. History:

Before there was a classical music summer festival in Trebinje, Herzegovina, we were a concert series in NYC, from 2014-2016, known as the Music & More Concert Series in Tribeca. it’s description said: Music&More presents classical and contemporary works, encompassing many artistic genres and performed by both world-class artists and young, up-and-coming musicians. Juxtaposing the traditional and innovative, the known and unknown, and old and new masterpieces is the essence of each concert. We love historically beautiful, meaningful and acoustically vibrant spaces! Our former venue enjoyed an extraordinary setting at the 1863 quintessential Tribeca cast iron building, which housed City Hall restaurant. Our present venue - adjacent to Lincoln Center - is a perfect architectural structure embracing splendid acoustics and extraordinary ambient. Clevelend Cady, architect of the original Metropolitan Opera House (demolished in 1967) and the American Museum of Natural History, the Romanesque church is one of the best spaces to hear the music in New York City. A champagne reception to mingle and meet the musicians and the audience will follow every performance. Tatjana Rankovich, Pianist, Founder & Artistic Director

A special festival needs a special guest and we are thrilled to announce our guest artis for Season 8 - NICHOLAS TAMAGNA Countertenor, acclaimed as “one of the most compelling countertenors of his generation.” has captivated audiences across Europe, North America, and Asia with his rich, powerful voice and commanding stage presence. From Baroque masterworks to contemporary operatic creations, his versatility has earned him appearances at the world’s most prestigious houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, Theater an der Wien, San Francisco Opera, and Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Tamagna’s portrayals of Handel’s iconic heroes—Rinaldo, Giulio Cesare, and roles in Agrippina and Partenope—have become touchstones of his career, praised for their “dazzling coloratura and profound emotional depth.” Beyond the stage, Tamagna is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of artists. As Artistic Director and co-founder of Forum Neue Kunst Oldenburg e.V. in Germany, he has spent the past five years creating opportunities for emerging singers and composers through innovative productions, composer residencies, and interdisciplinary collaborations—proving that vibrant art can flourish even in challenging times. As a vocal pedagogue, he brings the same intensity and curiosity to teaching that defines his performances, working with singers to unlock both the technical and expressive potential of the voice. Based between Europe and Asia, Tamagna continues to champion both the preservation of historical repertoire and the creation of new works, reflecting his belief in classical music as a living, breathing art form.

PS: we will be creating masterclasses for voice students. More information about how to apply will follow soon. The MMSF concert/events schedule will be posted in February. Stay tuned.
