I participated in the Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music for the first time in 2015, and I have happily returned to it ever since. It is a unique opportunity for all musicians who love chamber music and good company to spend a warm summer week in the beautiful surroundings of Ivanova Korita. Thanks to the exceptional mentors, I have perfected many significant chamber music pieces for the flute and played in some ensembles for the first time (woodwind quintet), which is truly a wonderful experience. I believe that chamber music is equally important for a soloist, orchestral musician, or chamber performer because it teaches us more about our instrument and the art of playing. To be complete musicians, we must know how to play together, and that is exactly what chamber music offers us. Petra Lekić, flutist, 2023.

Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music at Ivanova Korita has played a significant role in my musical development. Even as a student of elementary music school, I had the opportunity to meet exceptional educators at the Summer Camp, whose expertise and dedication inspired me to work on myself and refine my musical sensibility and performance skills. Thanks to the rich repertoire, I gained a deeper understanding of musical styles and improved my interpretation technique. Additionally, the camp always fosters an excellent atmosphere, allowing us to meet new talented musicians from different parts of the world. We learn from each other through shared experiences and music-making. I am pleased to be a part of this story once again. Andrej Čivša Zakrajšek, cellist, 2023.  

I have been a regular participant of the Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music at Ivanova Korita since 2017. Outstanding professors who generously share their knowledge, a consistently excellent working atmosphere, and pleasant social interactions in the beautiful setting of National Park Lovcen have made a significant contribution to my progress in both chamber and orchestral music,during my high school years and later as a univestity student. I am particularly delighted by the fact that the Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music continues to attract an increasing number of participants each year. I highly recommend to everyone who has not yet visited this little musical paradise to apply in one of the upcoming years. Viktor Huter, violinist, 2023.  

Montenegro Summer  Camp for Chamber Music at Ivanova Korita has been a cornerstone of my development as a musician. As a long-standing attendee, I have grown and experienced the joy of chamber music playing in all its forms and ensembles. I have deep respect for the organizers of this camp due to their dedicated work. I may even be one of the most loyal participants, which has granted me the privilege to collaborate and learn from all the mentors who have been a part of the camp. It's difficult to single out anyone because they have all been crucial to my progress. I will always remember the experiences and the fellowship at the camp, keeping them close to my heart.   Luka Perazić, 2023.  

This ambience is like heaven on Earth. You couldn't have found a better place. Everything is well organized and the enthusiasm of young musicians who work hard is a joy to see. It is a pleasure for me to work with them, to watch their development day by day, to bring up their performance to a higher level in a short period of time. This is a great idea. There are no chamber music camps in the region – almost everyone is trained as soloist, two of whom from the generation might stay in this field. Chamber music is the basis, it teaches us to listen to each other, to fit into ensembles and much more. Solo performance also has its charms, but for me the chamber music is much more than that.   Sreten Krstic, 2021

The annual Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music and closing concert of participants was the most beautiful event of this challenging quarantine summer. Actually, the camp is also kind of quarantine, but in a positive way. It is a unique atmosphere, enclosed by the landscape of nature, for obtaining the highest creative achievements. Such special quarantines are vital for every artist. Good physical condition and psychological stability, as in sports, are attributes of musical activity.  All the students and teachers were provided with unique conditions. The summer camp allows you to temporarily escape from stress, noise, speed and crowds of big cities and enable you to hear the silence, which is important to all of us, and especially for young musicians, like a pause in the score. And in the background of this silence, they can hear new nuances and colors in music. I consider the camp as an event of exceptional importance for the culture of Montenegro. Dmitrii Prokofiev, 2020.

Being in this magical place, at the foot of the Mount Lovcen, and make music there is an experience I will never forget. For the amateur that I am having the privilege of playing with such high level musicians allowed me to progress and to bring to life years of practising on my instrument at the concerts which came as crown on the stage. The summer camp at Ivanova Korita will remain for me as image of an ideal sociaty, in an ideal place, each with their own instruments, level of knowledge, age, brougth together in creating harmony and joy. A model to develop.  

The energy, the camaraderie and the time spent with the students and colleagues was unforgettable. Attendees had the opportunity to play in multiple chamber ensembles, thus going through more pieces from different composers and learning about different styles. The string players again proved to be excellent young artists and professionals despite, it seems to me, the most demanding program that the chamber orchestra has played on campus so far. And in addition to the packed schedule of classes and practice, I also find it important to rest, and I do not know if there is a better place for this than Ivanova Korita. Through nice socializing and playing, we had the opportunity to share stories, knowledge, tips and experiences with the students as well as with the mentors. Year after year, the students are getting better and are increasingly motivated. Their progress is paramount to us mentors, and as we progress, the audience sees and hears it at our closing concerts. I look forward to the next camp and our little team reunion!  

I think the Montenegro Summer Camp for Chamber Music is really a great project. I could meet great mentors and good friends from various countries. Many thanks to the summer camp I improved my playing so much! I want to come again (I already came three times)!

With great happiness I received the invitation to Music Camp 2018. The International Summer Camp for Chamber Music was initiated in 2012 as a private initiative organized by enthusiastic individuals. Its success was so encouraging that - still with a lot of private initiative - the Summer Camp became a regular institution. I am convinced that the seventh edition will again provide a wonderful experience for the musicians and their teachers, working hard together in order to present great final concerts.

Congratulations for your academy of a very good and varied level. A colossal job!
