Garden of Ephemeral Delights
Garden of Ephemeral Delights is a specifically chosen program that expresses my current artistic state: exploring very deep emotions by an unexpected diversity of delicate sounds. Free of any merely brilliant effects or sugared romanticism, it involves me as an interpreter and hopefully the listener with a whole diapason of flickering combinations of watery, transparent and bell-like sounds, travelling through devastating emotions achieved by minimalist means and finally settling at the inebriant sensations evoked in the piece written after Bosch’s famous painting.
Maria Ivanovich finished her graduate studies mentored by Svetlana Bogino at Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, where she has also worked as Teacher Assistant at Piano Cathedra.

Maria has played numerous concerts along Europe and was awarded more than forty prizes at international piano competitions, including special prizes for contemporary music and F. Mompou interpretation. Active in the organization field, she has worked as Director of International Piano Competition Eugenia Verdet and Coordinator of International Music Festival and Summer Course of Yablonsky Foundation.
