Ovations of the audience, great atmosphere, smiling musicians and a mixture of world rhythms! Last evening’s concert in Croatian Institute of Music was the closing night of 6th International Percussion Ensemble Week! After three Festival’s days in Bjelovar, Croatian “percussion city”, the artists performed in Zagreb the most attractive pieces from this year’s IPEW. Grupu from Brazil, MOL Percussion Orchestra from Belgium, PerKu-Va from Spain and the host of the Festival, biNg bang ensemble of the Zagreb Academy of Music with soloists Arthur Lipner (USA), Vid Jamnik (SLO) and conductor Igor Lešnik (also artistic director of the Festival), gave the audience a real percussion spectacle. Last night in the Hall of the Institute you couldn’t tell whether the audience or the artists were having more fun.
See You next year at the 7th IPEW!

Dear fans of good music, percussions, winter, snow and boots
we are inviting you to jump into Bjelovar between 08. and 11. of January and visit International Percussion Ensemble Week IPEW 2009!!!
First of all read few introducing words written by our artistic director Igor LEŠNIK and then click the program on our web site to meet the soloists and ensembles that we are expecting with joy!
 „10, 20, 30... is not just an alignment of numbers but an overview of anniversaries that start with the opening concert of the International Percussion Week in Bjelovar on January 8th, 2009. The artistic director of the festival has been active on the percussion scene for thirty years, and the Percussion Studies at the Music Academy in Zagreb celebrate their twentieth year of existence. The resident festival ensemble biNg bang began its career ten concert seasons ago on the Bjelovar stage consisting mostly of the students of the V. Lisinski Music School in Bjelovar. Today, as the percussion ensemble of the Music School in Zagreb and as the winners of the title 'the best student percussion ensemble' won in 2004 in Nashville (USA), they have already performanced at some of the world's leading percussion festivals. Alone this season, the biNg bang members have played in China, Sweden and France, where they were welcomed by leading percussion ensembles - Percussions Claviers de Lyon, Kroumata and Global Percussion Network. At their birthday concert, biNg bang will be joined on stage by another ensemble celebrating its 10th anniversary – the Brazilian GRUPU led by Dr. Fernando Hashinoto. Because of IPEW's strivings to bring the audience not only the world's best percussionists but also promising newcomers, the same programme will feature soloist performances by the American virtuoso Arthur Lipner and the young Slovenian vibraphonist Vid Jamnik . The newest accomplishments of the professional percussion ensemble scene will be presented by the MOL Percussion Orchestra from Belgium and Spanish PERKU-Va. There are therefore at least 10 or 20, and maybe even 30 reasons to visit IPEW concerts in Bjelovar and Zagreb from 8th till 11th January, 2009.“
