Matija Dedić

Jazz pianist and composer, Matija Dedić will perform within Doček 7530 at Egység Cultural Station, on 13 January. You can watch his performance from 10 p.m.

Matija Dedić is the son of renowned Croatian musicians Gabi Novak and Arsen Dedić. He has graduated from music high school in Zagreb, and jazz academy in Graz. In the late 90s, he founded an ensemble Matija Dedić Trio, which was the first to perform his authorial works. His first album Octopussy (1998) was declared one of the best debut albums of that decade back then. After that, Matija has won more than 25 Porin awards in different categories, Crni Mačak award, Mega Music Award, and around dozen awards for the best instrumentalist of the year.

Playing together with him in the ensemble are the experienced jazz musicians from Tamara Obrovac’s quartet, Žiga Golob (contrabass) and Krunoslav Levačić (drums).

The album dedicated to his late father, Matija svira Arsena, from 2015 has been proclaimed the best album, as well as the best-seller in Croatia. Many believe that it is one of the best instrumental works in this region in the last 20 years. Matija has privately been bettering himself with the help of one of the biggest jazz musicians Barry Harris.

Tighter Control of the Epidemiological Measures

All programmes within Doček 7530 were adapted in accordance with the epidemiological measures, so from the beginning, the planned concert capacities were limited throughout the ticket sales. As a result, the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation is taking over the initiative to implement additional measures and to tighten control over compliance with the said measures. Therefore, as a first measure, the Foundation recommended postponing 60 per cent of the concerts, while the tightened control will be present at the concerts that are directly produced by the Foundation. Further, the capacities of the concerts that will be realized are only filled up to 50 per cent, and even less, at certain locations. Along with the tickets, the visitors will be required to submit either a green certificate, an antigen test not older than 48 hours or a PCR test not older than 72 hours.

In accordance with the current epidemiological measures, it will be necessary to wear masks and maintain distance at the event itself.

Free testing at two sites will be provided for the visitors.

For all the visitors who do not have a green certificate, an antigen, or a PCR test, two sites for free testing will be provided on 13 January at these two locations:

  • In the centre of Novi Sad, in Liberty Square (Trg Slobode) on 13 January from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.
  • Inside of the City Concert Hall (Cara Lazara Boulevard 67) on 13 January from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.
