At the 19th International Guitar Festival held in the city of Rust in Austria, Savremena’s student Nikola Milosavljević won a special award for the best rendition of Venezuelan music in all categories within the “Alirio Diaz” competition.

Venezuelan spirit in the notes of Savremena’s guitarist

The jury consisted of guests from Venezuela, who recognised Nikola’s talent to “feel and understand the music of their country”, even though he comes from a country more than 9000 kilometres away.

A special honour for Nikola was the fact that one of the members of the jury was the son of a great maestro and famous guitarist, Alirio Diaz, who the competition was named after. The talented student received the award from the representatives of the Venezuelan Embassy in Austria and the “Alirio Diaz” foundation, and owing to this, Nikola had the honour of playing
at the festival’s closing ceremony, which was broadcast by Austrian national Television.

We congratulate Nikola on this valuable award. We are sure that this is just one in a series of accomplishments he will achieve in the future!
