Petar MarićOn January 20th Serbian accordionist Petar Maric performed in Slovakia at the ECOC 2013 Opening Ceremony in Košice, and proved to be a sensation. Excerpts from a report written by Eva Mikilová:

"In the Intermezzo bar, 22 year-old Petar Maric stood before the audience and briskly started to play his accordion. The likeable Petar captivated everybody.

The bar was packed and people danced. Peter proved that everything really can be played on the accordion. Starting with ‘Kalinka’, then Serbian folk songs, Italian ballads and modern hits. They were all played with unbelievable energy, excellent delivery and a smile.

He played tirelessly for more than two hours and his performance will be embedded in the memories of his audience."
