Organizers of the 2011 Kincardine Summer Music Festival are delighted to announce that acclaimed young violinist Marc Djokic will perform Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, Kincardine, as a part of the festival concert series. He will also coach and direct Master classes for festival chamber music students. Djokic comes from a family of Halifax musicians. He began his violin studies at the age of six with his father, violinist Philippe Djokic, and completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory as a scholarship student of Donald Weilerstein. He currently resides in Montreal. He has won numerous prizes and awards including an Opus Prize in 2009 from the Conseil québecois de la musique for best concert in the region. Djokic has performed in many concert series and music festivals, such as Music Masters Course in Kazusa (Japan), the Atlantic Scene Festival (Ottawa), Montreal Chamber Music Festival, and numerous appearances at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival. He was a featured artist in the Bravo! Television Series, “The Classical Now”, and has performed as soloist with many Symphony Orchestras including Symphony Nova Scotia, Symphony New Brunswick, PEI Symphony, Nova Symphonia and The Niagara Symphony. Djokic has toured throughout the Atlantic Provinces and British Columbia, and will embark on a Jeunesses Musicales tour of Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces in 2010-11 with pianist Julien LeBlanc. A recipient of an instrument from the Canada Council Instrument Bank, Djokic gratefully acknowledges the continuing support from the Canada Council.
