Faculty for 21C Artist Training at the Verbier Festival Academy for soloists and ensembles
Before streaming came mixtapes—carefully curated and totally personal. Pedja Mužijević revisits that spirit in a 60-minute set where Haydn meets Ligeti, Crumb meets Amy Beach, and surprises flow track to track. Performed and narrated in English, this isn’t a recital. It’s a playlist, live on stage.

This week-long workshop will bring six young musicians to Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana to look at the concert from perspectives of performers, presenters, production and marketing managers, funders and audience members. Musicians will perform a public concert at Tippet Rise, a pop up concert in an unconventional location in a neighboring community, write marketing blurbs for them, discuss production needs, look at the flow of each concert, work on speaking in public about music and explore ways to diversify the concert format.
The workshop will be lead by Pedja Muzijevic, pianist and artistic advisor for Tippet Rise Art Center.

Music is called the universal language, but what does that really mean? Pianist Pedja Mužijević leads this interactive performance with a wide range of short piano works, from Joseph Haydn to Henry Cowell, and asks the audience very specific questions that will encourage us all to react to music with our instincts.
