DEŠPALJ
SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Dešpalj
School of Music is a private music school for exceptionally gifted
children. It was founded in 1996 by eminent Croatian artists and
teachers, violinist Maja Dešpalj-Begovic and cellist Valter Dešpalj.
The classes take place at the venues of Matica Hrvatska (Matrix
Croatia) in Zagreb. The number of pupils is limited because of exclusive
character of the school. Over the years they have been very successful
performing publicly and achiving excellent results in competitions
in the country and abroad.
Besides
the basic work - schooling of the young talented violinists and
cellists - the school organizes different other programmes in order
to create for its pupils as much chances for public exposure and
performing experience as possible. The project STRINGS ONLY! is
the most important of them. It encompasses master courses and the
Festival of Young String Players in Zadar, enabling talented children
to receive tuition from professors of international reputation as
well as to interact with already accomplished young string players
at the treshold of their professional careers. In collaboration
with Croatian institute of music the school also organizes series
of Coffee Concerts, Sunday matinees in which the most advanced pupils
also take part.
