Children’s music festival in Belgrade

Angel Voice is an international music festival in Belgrade that has taken place since 2016. Its mission is to connect children from all over the world through music, develop their musical talent and enrich their creativity.

This year, the festival which took place from 27 September through 1 October, gathered more than 200 participants from Serbia, Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Croatia, Hungary, Moldova, Slovenia, Albania, Poland, Holland, Ukraine and Malta. Among them was Savremena’s student Adriana Salahović.

She chooses the songs with her heart

Adriana presented her angelic voice by singing Lara Fabian’s ‘I Guess I Loved You’.

When deciding on the songs for a competition, Adriana chooses the ones she truly feels.

“It is important for me to experience the song with my entire being so as to convey the emotion to the audience through the story and the music”, says Adriana.

Lara Fabian is a singer-songwriter Savremena’s student particularly appreciates. She enjoys her vocal ability, as seen in Adriana’s first video produced by Savremena:

A tough competition makes the success sweeter

Savremena has reported on Adriana’s achievements on many occasions, however, what makes her success even greater is the tough competition she faced.

“The participants came from all over the world and were more than ready. Her toughest opponents were undoubtedly from Romania, who, apart from great vocal technique, displayed excellent dancing skills”, says the young singer.

Support from loved ones and new friendships

Constant support is the greatest encouragement, as confirmed by Savremena’s student.

“I achieved this primarily due to the support received from my loved ones, and I am also thankful for the new friends I’ve made at the contest”, says Adriana through her smile, and adds that this is yet another beautiful experience to remember.

We congratulate Adriana on hew new remarkable accomplishment. We would like to remind her that she will always have support from her school which will, with great pride, report on her achievements.

We’re eagerly waiting for new performances and new accomplishments!

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
