More about the Mentor:
Darko Piller (SRB/AU)
Darko Piller, the concertmaster of the orchestra ‘Gardemusik Wien’, will unveil the tradition of a Serbian violin for us. Besides his virtuoso performances of classical music, he holds a rich knowledge of Serbian music culture. Darko Piller grew up in Piroman, renowned for its tradition of violin playing. His origin is in the famous violin family. Grand-grandfather Žikica Piromanac and grandfather Zlatomir Vasić – Boja. As a child, he learned the art of playing Serbian violin at his famous uncle Boban Voz’s terrace. Boban remains a prominent figure in the Serbian traditional violin. During those days, Darko, along with his brother and sister, would play on the famous ‘Knez Mihailov’ street in Belgrade daily. After 8 years of playing on the street, they became famous by winning the Serbian TV show ‘Serbia’s got talent’. Afterwards, Darko and Danijel won many awards at the international competitions; 1st prize (2018), 2nd prize (2017) and 3rd prize (2016) in accordion competition ‘Coupe Mondiale‘ in the category world music among others. In the year 2013, they came to the final of the Austrian TV show ‘ The Great Chance Show Austria’ and in 2017, they became world champions in the competition ‘67 Trophee Mondia’ in Onet le Château in France. Currently based in Vienna, they give concerts with their classical and Serbian traditional repertoire.
In the weekend workshop, we will try to get closer to the sound of Piroman with learning tunes and non-formal performance on Sunday evening.
When? 2nd of April 2023

Presenters:
Bojan Cvetrežnik
Kathryn Doehner
Barja Drnovšek
This presentation aims at acknowledging the vast and rich diversity of European violin folk music and its relevance for a balanced and diverse violin education. By introducing some of the unique educational tools of folk violin traditions such as oral transmission, peer-to-peer learning and jamming we want to explore the benefits that can come with studying the violin with a folk approach alongside the classical or jazz violin educational path.
In the first edition of the Fiddle Gateway conference that took place in Germany in 2022, a group of folk violinists from across Europe came together to discuss the minimum standard folk repertoire for teaching a certain style of folk music. The focus of discussion was, to introduce the folk styles into established classical and jazz education and to build a more solid basis for a folk violin curriculum that can be used as a point of reference. Part of the project is to establish a web database of repertoire that enables players across Europe to identify common repertoire and to find out what is the standard folk repertoire for any violin lessons. Another aim is to identify different aspects of the violin technique that can be practiced in an efficient way by playing folk tunes. In this presentation we want to present some of the findings of the Fiddle Gateway conference.
When? Every Friday from 5.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. (from May 21 to July 9, 2021)
Where? Family center “Mala ulica” (Prečna ulica 7, Ljubljana)
What? Live music for all generations
On Fridays, we invite you to unique music events co-created by children and teachers of Godalkanje. Besides violins, we occasionally hear double bass, plucked string instruments, accordion, voice … The tunes from different regions compete with each other, and listeners vote for the winning song. Teams from more than 15 European and American countries will compete whose songs you declare the winners. Sometimes jazz and classical teams also compete. Come, enjoy the acoustic music of violin orchestra, dance, clap or swing to the beat on the swings and vote for the tune you like best! Maybe it will win… Spider Inke will take care of the nice weather – in case of rain, complain to him, while the music will play inside the playroom.
The teams consist of: Namuznjeni Godalkarji, Specialni Godalkarji, Fiddle Gang
Coaches: Bojan Cvetrežnik, Barja Drnovšek
