On February 10, the Howland Chamber Music Circle continues its successful Piano Series with a performance by Bosnianborn pianist Pedja Muzijevic. One of the most versatile keyboard artists, he has been widely praised for his interpretations of the standard literature and for his imaginative programing. He has toured extensively as a recitalist and as a soloist with orchestras throughout eastern and western Europe, Canada, the United States, South America and Asia, performing with such orchestras as the Milwaukee Symphony, the Residentie Orkest in The Hague and the Dresden Philharmonic among many others.
