Miami International Piano Festival: Kemal Gekic (Croatia)

“Gekic rides the charismatic edge of genious” - R. Dyer, Boston Globe
“He is something like a general who has learned all the rules in the book and is therefore free to ignore them in the time of war” - James Roos, Miami Herald

Flamboyant, daring, provocative, exciting, seductive and sensitive are some of the words used to describe one of today’s most formidable pianists, Kemal Gekic, whose playing has been acclaimed worldwide by public and critics alike. His daring approach to tone and form marked him as a maverick in the musical world, a distinction he welcomes: the very strength of his artistry challenges, provokes, intrigues.

“His playing is transcendental as well as incandescent” - John Ardoin, Dallas Morning News
