Pece Atanasovski and the Pece Atanasovski Festival

In July 2023 we visited Prilep and Dolneni for the 49th Pece Atanasovski Festival. It was so nice and interesting that we decided in to come back in 2024. In that year the festival was held for the fiftieth time. This two editions had the same format

  • in the morning there were given classes for young performers
  • on friday and Satur evening there were two concerts: Friday evening in Prilep and Saturday evening in Dolneni (Pece Atanasovski was born in Dolneni)
  • the first evening in Prilep ended with a short concert by Tanec

The organizing committee was kind enough to help us with a good location to make recordings possible. In 2023 we made pictures and one video on the second evening. The lighting, especially at the end of the performances, was not optimal, but interesting nonetheless. As said, the committee helped in 2024 and this gave far better results. The video recording of the second evening in Dolneni failed but that was my (Peter's) fault.
So what do we have:

  • pictures of the two evenings in 2023
  • a video of a part of second evening in Dolneni in 2023
  • pictures of the two evenings in 2024
  • two video's from the first evening in 2024: one of the paricipants and one from Tanec
  • sound recordings from both evenings in 2024
