Profundis to Premiere an Exclusive Ohrid Summer Festival Off-Program Concert in Skopje, Showcasing a Masterful and Emotionally Charged Repertoire
ноември 26, 2025
SKOPJE, 26.11.2025: The chamber orchestra Profundis will perform as part of the off-program of the most prestigious Macedonian arts festival – Ohrid Summer Festival, which this year, for the first time, will be presented to the Skopje audience. The concert will take place on 29 November, in the Grand Hall of the Macedonian Philharmonic, in the recognizable candlelight atmosphere, illuminated by thousands of candles – an ambience that has become a contemporary global symbol of intimate, emotional, and visually striking musical experiences.
This unique concept, which combines minimal light with maximum musical expression, allows listeners to focus on every sound, every breath of the instruments, and every subtle dynamic nuance created by the ensemble.
“It is a great honour that Ohrid Summer entrusted Profundis with the premiere of its off-program in Skopje. I believe this concert will be special not only because of the ambience, but also because of the way the music will resonate – sincere, focused, and deeply intentional. Our goal is to create a space where sound and light exist in perfect dialogue, allowing the audience to feel that quiet yet powerful magic that makes music truly unforgettable,” said Maestra Gjurgjica Dašić, conductor of Profundis.
A particular honour for the orchestra is the collaboration with the exclusive guest soloist, cellist Petar Pejčić, one of the most promising young European artists, finalist of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, and a soloist who already performs with leading orchestras across Europe.
The audience will have the opportunity to experience a carefully curated program that unites the contemplative minimalist aesthetics of Philip Glass through the suite from The Hours, the dramatic expressiveness and virtuosity of David Popper’s Hungarian Rhapsody Op. 68, as well as the elegance, wit, and romantic depth of *Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations. Together, these works form a musical whole rich with dynamism, subtle emotion, and impeccable artistry—perfectly suited for the solemn candlelight ambience.
This concert is an extraordinary opportunity for the Skopje audience to experience the artistic identity of Profundis—an orchestra that, through continuous dedication, authenticity, and high performance standards, is steadily building its place on the Macedonian and regional music scene.

ABOUT PETAR PEJČIĆ (SRB)

Born into a musical family, he began cello lessons at the age of four and continued his education in Germany at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig, studying under Prof. Peter Bruns. He is currently a student at the prestigious Kronberg Academy in the class of Prof. Frans Helmerson.
