Musical Heroine / Heroines at the Zenith
The concert of the Ana Ćurčin Trio will be held on 12 June at Zenit Books within the ‘Heroines at the Zenith’ festival, which is part of the Heroines programme arch.
The concert of the famous singer-songwriter who, through her own music and poetry, gives a personal, authorial stamp of women’s creativity and connects various artistic branches will perform at the end of the festival, as part of the trio – Ana Ćurčin (vocals and guitar), Milena Jančurić (flute) and Ana Protulipac (bass guitar and backing vocals) premiering several new Ana’s songs, but also presenting a subtle mixture of famous hits in new arrangements.
Ana Ćurčin is a singer-songwriter from Belgrade who has been performing solo or with a band since December 2012.

The audience could hear Ana’s music live in Serbia, the region, and throughout Europe. She has released two studio albums – ‘Sketches of Belonging’ (2016) and ‘Differences’ (2019, second one as Ana & The Changes), an album of applied music ‘Scene’ (2020), as well as a collection of demos ‘Sketches of Belonging (solo& acoustic)’ (2015) and live songs ‘Differences Live’ (2020). At the end of this year, she will release her first album in Serbian which was announced with the song ‘Tu’, the first that Ana wrote and sang in her native tongue. ‘Tu’ was awarded the best song of 2021 by the Milan Mladenović Endowment expert jury.
