Misha Dacic
“Misha Dacic made an impressive American debut last May at the Miami International Piano Festival. Now in his mid-20s, he is clearly an artist equipped with an awesome technique and a taste for keyboard barnburners”
- Lawrence Johnson, Sun- Sentinel
A captivating, brilliant and poetic artist, Misha first came to the public attention when at the age eleven he performed a Haydn Piano Concerto. Shortly afterwards, he entered the class of Professor Kemal Gekic at the University of Novi Sad in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. In 1998, at the invitation of Lazar Berman, Misha enrolled at the prestigious school for pianists in Imola, Italy, where he studied with Berman for five years.
After his successful North American debut at the “Discovery Series of the Sixth Miami International Piano Festival” in May 2003, Misha performed at the "Martha Argerich Project Festival” in Lugano, Switzerland, and at the Miami International Piano Festival in Lecce, Italy.
Celebrating Horowitz’s 100 birth anniversary, Misha performed in October 2003 at the University Of Miami School Of Music’s “Festival Miami” and at the “Piano Lovers” recital series at the Steinway Piano Gallery of Boca Raton.
