Fundraising for new oboe

I am Tanja Malič
My name is Tanja Malič (born 1987), from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina and I am an oboe player. I am a fourth year student in the Music Department at the Academy of the Arts in Banja Luka, where I study Ethnomusicology with Professor Dimitrija Golemoviča. In addition I am a fourth year student at the Music School ’Vlado Miloševič in Banja Luka, studying oboe with Professor Veronika Antunovič. I have participated in a number of competitions and achieved excellent results.

Playing oboe in Winds of Change
I am also a member of the wind ensemble ‘Winds of Change from Sarajevo, a Musicians without Borders project. Other musical groups in which I perform include the ‘Arion’ chamber orchestra in Banja Luka, the church choir the ‘Holy Mother’ in Laktaši and the Banja Luka University Choir. For a long time I have been a member of the Cultural Artistic Society ‘Slavko Mandič in Laktaši, through which I have participated in many festivals throughout Europe.

My dream: becoming Bosnia’s first professional oboist!
Now that I have completed my studies at the secondary music school I am faced with the problem of not having a proper oboe. In our entire country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is not one professional oboist, and I hope to become the first!  However, I am unable to buy a new oboe, or a second hand oboe of good quality, in order to continue further education at the Music Academy as well as to perform in the orchestras, especially ‘Winds of Change’ and ‘Arion’. This problem complicates my participation in different competitions, courses and seminars.

Your donation can make the difference
I would be grateful for your support in realizing my dream of becoming a professional oboist! You can help me by transferring your donation on account number 8114842 on behalf of Musicians without Borders in Alkmaar, The Netherlands stating ‘New oboe for Tanja’. Thank you so much!
