Interview with Aleksandar Pejovski from Macedonia

This year's Barga Jazz international competition for arrangement and composition for jazz orchestra has just finished with the following results:

Winners of Section D - Speakin Jazz Project from Rome

Winner of Section A - arrangements and compositions on the music of Giorgio Gaslini - Claudio Capurro from Geneva

Winner of Section B - Original compositions - Aleksandar Pejovski from Macedonia

The international flavour of the event has been amplified by the recent use of internet with the festival being closely followed by not just by an interested audience (7000 visitors to the bargajazz site on 26th August for instance) but also by some of the participants in the competition.

The eventual winner of Section B, Aleksandar Pejovski from Macedonia, followed the events and the recordings of his music being played by the Barga Jazz Orchestra via barganews.com and knew of his success in winning this year's competition before most the audience in Barga had actually left the theatre.

There is a brief internet meeting with Aleksandar on the barganews.com forum here You will have to register on the forum to read the complete article but it only takes 30 seconds and draws no blood.
