The \u201cRezonanca\u201d Elementary Music School is preparing a concert series titled \u201cThree May Evenings of Harmony\u201d, which will undoubtedly enrich the cultural scene of our city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concerts will be held on May 18, 20, and 21, 2026, starting at 7:00 PM in the beautiful setting of the Bosnian Room at the National University of Konjic. Admission is free for all visitors.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with the school\u2019s principal, Biljana Hand\u017eo, about what the audience can expect, how the preparations have been going, and which departments will present themselves to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 70 Students Bring the Magic of Classical and Pop-Rock Music<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Principal Hand\u017eo emphasizes that May is traditionally the most active month for the school, when all the effort and quiet work throughout the school year culminate in beautiful public performances.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started the second semester a week earlier in order to complete the full curriculum on time. All students and learners of our school are taking part in these May concerts. This used to be a single evening, then two, and now it has become three evenings of harmony, as the school today has over 70 students. We want to give every child the opportunity to show what they have learned,\u201d Hand\u017eo explains.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will perform in the violin, guitar, piano, and accordion departments, with the accordion department introduced last year as a new program and already recording an excellent response with six new students. A special attraction is also the pop-rock department, intended for students who have completed the classical program but have chosen to continue their musical education in more modern styles and rhythms.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/welcometokonjic.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bilja-1536x1152-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed program by evenings (7:00 PM, Bosnian Room)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the large number of performers, the concerts have been divided into three rich one-hour programs, while there will be a break on Tuesday due to activities of the Actors\u2019 Festival.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday, May 18 \u2013 First Evening<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monday, May 18 \u2013 First Evening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Violin:<\/strong> Najra Ali\u0107, Azra Halilovi\u0107, Amira Hod\u017ei\u0107, Rijad Kadi\u0107, Ilda Karkelja, Zana Lapo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guitar:<\/strong> Ahmed Memi\u0107, Nedim Prevljak, Dzana Coric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piano:<\/strong> Ensar Alihod\u017ei\u0107, Ajna Bajrovi\u0107, Sara Dedi\u0107, Hadi Butrovi\u0107, Anja D\u017eumhur, Dzana Hajduk, Ajla Heri\u0107, Naida Hujdur, Daris Kova\u010devi\u0107, Lana Lepara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accordion:<\/strong> Adin Bali\u0107, Hamza Halilovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday, May 20 \u2013 Second Evening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Violin:<\/strong> Aj\u0161a Alibegovi\u0107, Emina Kevri\u0107, Mia Pranji\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guitar:<\/strong> Dzana Lepara, Emina Zuki\u0107, Daris Habibija, Lejla Dedi\u0107, Ahmed Bubalo, Asmir Hondo, Zeid Faladzi\u0107, Faris Bubalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piano:<\/strong> Merjem Bali\u0107, Merjem Isanovi\u0107, Damir Kevri\u0107, Esma Lepara, Daria Mandzuka, Ali Nik\u0161i\u0107, Nedim Proho, Zara Sokolovi\u0107, Tarik Tucakovi\u0107, Fadil Zahrovi\u0107 Mehmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accordion:<\/strong> Dzan Abaza, Emir Kori\u0107, Eldar Zelic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pop-Rock Department (modern rhythms):<\/strong> Matea An\u0111eli\u0107 (piano), Merjem \u017diko (violin), Amna Kasalo (guitar), Harun Habibovi\u0107 (guitar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, May 21 \u2013 Third Evening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Violin:<\/strong> Berina Hod\u017ei\u0107, Zara Hondo, Iris Odoba\u0161i\u0107, Suana Rami\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guitar:<\/strong> Harun Alihodzi\u0107, Adna Alkadi\u0107, Blackburn Mia, Imran Ja\u0161arevi\u0107, Harun Ci\u0161o, Adel Rghei, Lemana Poturovi\u0107, Emir \u0160ari\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piano:<\/strong> Zara Ali\u0107, \u0160ejla Baji\u0107, Amina Bubalo, Iman Jusupovi\u0107, Nera Krivi\u0107, Ejman Mandzuka, Nour Rghei, Ruben Zenelaj, Merjem Muslimi\u0107, Elif Hejub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pop-Rock Department (modern rhythms):<\/strong> Faris Muhibi\u0107.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For young musicians, performing in front of an audience represents a special challenge, but also a mandatory part of their education that builds self-confidence and helps overcome stage fright.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur teachers carefully select a more engaging program that is not too demanding for the audience.
