ALL RIGHTS RESERVED http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en In his Debut in the city of Osijek and belonging Osijek Summer Festival – the far largest cultural manifestation in eastern Croatia – Mihael was set up to deliver one of the most darring performances of his recent time. Upon the invitation of Maestro Mladen Tutavac and chamber orchestra 'Franjo Krežma' he interpreted the Clarinet Concerto by Bruno Bjelinski thus joining the century brithday celebration of the Croatian classic. Ecstatic audience in the fullfiled St. Mihael (!) Church anticipated the unanimous reviews by radio, television and press that followed: '...Acoustic and dynamic profilation of themes and phrases with distinctive musicality and technical perfection...' (B.Ban), while the Festival Jury describes Mihael as a 'Brilliant Soloist at the Osijek Summer'. On the repeated ovations and four curtain calls he responded with a challenging encore – Chopin's Chromatic Etude op.10-2 arranged by himself for clarinet and strings and executed virtually in a single breath... 11 Aug 2009 14:38:11 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv23_en.htm 0A2A114E-4702-408C-A2EF-4257C7E7880A Mihael Paar was particularly honoured receiving the invitation to perform at the Gala opening of the Passion Heritage, distinguished festival which annually takes place shortly before the eve of Easter in Zagreb and other Croatian cities. The acknowledgment is even greater as his festival collaborator – the famous Zagreb Quartet known as the Croatian oldest chamber ensemble and the oldest active string quartet in the world - celebrates its 90th birthday in the course of 2009. The special occasion brought us a special programme feature: Mozart's Clarinet Quintet K581 saw the light through its Croatian Integral Premiere and thus was performed on the basset clarinet, with Mihael Paar as the first Croatian clarinetist ever to do so. The Gala event took place on March 29 in one of the most beautiful Croatian baroque churches - The St. Catherine's in the historical Zagreb Upper Town. NOTE: Passion Heritage Festival is a member of the Europassion Association since 1998. 29 Mar 2009 18:53:10 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv22_en.htm 282BE169-873C-45FA-BB98-108925D5E9AC Performing The Blackbird Song by A.Müllenbach in 2004, Paar drew a decisive attention. Performance featuring a charming musical theatre, as well as a number of modern playing techniques, some of which came to reinforce the onomatopoeic feature of the programmatic piece, immediately earned acclaims from both the audience and the critiques, additionally resulting with the top prizes at the Ohrid and Padua International Competitions. The attached footage highlights the show from the 29th Samobor Autumn, renowned Croatian Music Festival and stands as the first in the sequence of a nearly dozen performances followed throughout the Italy, Austria, Romania, Macedonia and Croatia. Although frequently approached as a stand-alone piece, the Solo remains an integrative part of a major complex - the Zeit-Schatten Quartet (cl./vn./vc./pf.). 1 Jul 2008 14:16:27 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv21_en.htm DAC9135F-8B15-42F2-8B75-E8B7AEAD5B9F The video of the highly praised and rewarded performance of the Klobučar's Suite has recently been posted on YouTube gaining a notable viewer rating in only a short period of time. The clip dates from March 2007, from the recital that M.Paar gave with a Japanese pianist H.Imagawa at the Illyrian Hall in the Zagreb Old Center. The specialty of this performance comes from a supreme and fully controlled demonstration of the circular breathing technique, while the clarinet sound remains intact despite of it. The fourth, published movement of the Suite, with the title Con brio, is rather describable - due to its constant motility and recognised neoclassical style - as a Moto Perpetuo of the Avant-garde.

The jubilee celebrated 40th Tribune finals hosted ten exquisite performing artists under 30 years of age who in the period from October last year till April this year, presented themselves with a solo recital in the distinguish Lisinski hall. Paar's interpretation of the Suite by A.Klobučar, as confirmed by the jury compiled from the representatives of the artists, critics (Vjesnik Herald) organizer (HDGU/Lisinski) and composers (HDS), rates as the best and most versatile performance of a work by a Croatian composer in the 2006/07 season. The Darko Lukić Tribune itself excels as the oldest and most prestige competition for the Croatian artists which in its long history launched careers of some of the most acclaimed musicians in the region such as hornist Radovan Vlatković and soprano Ivanka Boljkovac. M.Paar's award consists of a diploma, cash prize and the prizewinners' concert held in the Lisinski hall on the 30th April. Both of his concerts (competitive and prizewinners') were recorded and aired by the Croatian radio, while his award-winning performance of the Klobučar's Suite will be exclusively featured on his Debut CD scheduled for 2008. 30 Apr 2007 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv19_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 As a duo with a pianist H.Imagawa, M.Paar performed for the very first time (March 7th) in the program of the the major Croatian concert agency - the Zagreb Concert Management. Piano pianissimo - the chamber music cycle of the Management and the constitutive part of its program, is held in the magnificent ambiance of the Zagreb historic Illyrian Hall and has so far hosted a number of most renowned domestic and foreign artists. Thus, special honour has been given to Mihael and Hiroyo who responded to such a challenge with an inspired performance of a diverse and extended, two-hour (!) program containing works by Gershwin, Benjamin, Brahms, Lovreglio, Klobučar, Poulenc and Schubert. Having a similar program, the Duo performed two days earlier in the town of Samobor and a day after in Velika Gorica, having the Zagreb concert recorded by the Croatian Radio and broadcast afterwards in part.

The only, never surpassed Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A-major featured by high Koechl's number 622 came to schedule after excellently received performances of the Clarinet Quintet K581 and the Croatian Premiere of the Allegro in B-flat major K516c from May this year. M.Paar and the Symphony Orchestra of HGZ under dr. M.Bačić carried out the concert on the eve of the Christmas Eve in the Concert Hall of Matija Gubec in Stubica (Croatia). It was specially for this event that M.Paar composed quite challenging arrangement* of the famous Rondo alla turca and performed it at the end of the concert accompanied by the thundering applause of the thrilled audience. HGZ with the Orchestra as its integral part, excels as the oldest Croatian music institution whose part in music and social life of Zagreb and Croatia is today being estimated as crucial. Founded as early as 1827, HGZ has inherited the legacy of the middle-european cultural circle. Its magnificent concert hall and the treasury of music scripts archive placed in a historical building in the very centre of Zagreb, witnesses the tradition of the highest rank. NOTE: The arrangement is about to be published and will be available for purchase exclusively on www.mihaelpaar.com 23 Dec 2006 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv17_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 In only a week time, in the period between 11 & 18 August , M.Paar gave a total of five recitals with two completely different programmes. The schedule starting with the Bavaria concerts was exclusively featured through the collaboration with the violinist/violist Stephan Gröger (Germany) and the pianist Wen Xia (China) and immidiately followed by the recitals with the prominent Japanese pianist Hiroyo Imagawa in the Salzburg's Romanischer Saal whose unique ambiance witnessed the performances of works by Brahms (Sonata No.1), Schumann (Fantasiestücke), Debussy (Premiere Rhapsodie) and Poulenc (Sonata), arguably the very best of all for the medium. In the meantime, M.Paar received official invitations to take part in the renowned Vienna and Düsseldorf clarinet competitions, while after the obligatory recital given in the middle of June, he completed his master thesis winning the MA degree with highest honor from the Mozarteum University of Music and Dramatic Arts.

On May 10, last day of one-week special event, Mihael Paar and Sebastian String Quartet gave a Gala Concert in the Prica Gallery performing some of the most distinguished works from the Mozart's chamber opus. Besides the famous Clarinet Quintet KV 581 (Stadler-Quintet) and just as famous String Quartet KV 387 (1st Haydn-Quartet), the uniqueness of the entire show was ensured by the Croatian premiere of the uncompleted Allegro for clarinet and string quartet KV Anh. 91. Mozart Forever with the background program, stood as an ambitious project of the organizer POU Samobor as well as performers themselves, while the production output was esspecially featured through the accompanying details whose late Baroque elements tried to "evoke" the spirit of Amadeus itself, and the late 18th century Vienna and Salzburg.

Highlights of 2006 will include recitals in the Zagreb County Musical Ring Cycle (Zagreb Concert Management) with a prominent Japanese pianist Hiroyo Imagawa, a Gala Concert with the Slavonsky String Quartet in honour of 250th Mozart's birth anniversary, series of concerts with the Mirabell String Quartet all across Austria and Germany, featured soloist concerts and studio productions with HGZ Symphony Orchestra (conductor I.Gjadrov), Tamburitza Orchestra of Croatian National Radio-Television (conductor S.Leopold) and "Ferdo Livadić" Tamburitza Orchestra, as well as tours all across Italy and Slovenia. Appearances at the major international competitions in Germany, Italy and Spain, as well as winning the Mozarteum's Master's degree title are also scheduled for 2006. Together with his main occupation, M.Paar will continue composing and writing (SSN Herald), and his activities in the Croatian Clarinet Society, while permanent expansion of the mihaelpaar.com will eventually result with even more complex and functional site.

Mihael Paar and Mirabell Quartet chose to perform Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A-major KV 581 (the so-called Stadler-Quintet) and were unanimously admitted into the program. By coming under the patronage of UNI ART Performance, the ensemble will now regularly take part in concert events and festivals all across Austria and Germany, thus extending their concert activities and stamping the way towards foreign podiums. The Mirabell Quartet itself stands alone as one of the most distinguished string quartets of the Mozarteum University; internationally built up by violinists Kathrin ten Hagen (Ger) and Asa Nakajima (Jpn), violist Alexandru Bota (Rum) and cellist Johannes Kubitschek (Aut), Quartet earned smooth critiques from Salzburg's press as well as the prestigious Raiffeisen Klassik-Preis award in May 2005.

The Windstrings (string) orchestra, enlarged by the wind section of the Croatian Army Wind Symphony Orchestra, (SPOHV) formed a large symphony orchestra guided by maestro Alan Bjelinski and Mihael Paar as a featured soloist in Weber’s Concertino, a revolutionary work of clarinet and early romantic literature. A large audience witnessed M.Paar's debut which exceeded all expectations of the organizers and justified the invitation which had been given to the rising artist, while the history of the Samobor Music Autumn festival itself will mention that M.Paar was and still remains the only solo-clarinetist ever to performed at the festival since its inception in 1975. 10 Nov 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv11_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 Finally, at your disposal, there is multimedia contents which has not been present at the site till now.

The performances at the Omiš Summer Festival (July 26), Biograd Summer Festival (July 29) and Korčula Summer Festival (August 28) left the audiences with an overwhelmingly positive impression. Their ovation elicited the inspired performance of Schubert's Ave Maria, a work not listed in the concert program. Since the concert of the Pressler-Paar-Kemperle Trio scheduled for August 7 on the Island of Ugljan had been cancelled, and because of the repeated requests by the organizer, Mihael Paar took on the challenge of having a non-accompanied recital. In the period of just a few days, he prepared a virtuoso program containing works by Bach (Partitas) and Paganini (Cappricies), solo pieces by Stravinsky and Grgin, as well as well known themes which he arranged himself. An additional treat for the spectators was a surprise turn in the program where he presented himself as a bas-clarinetist, performing a potpourri of well-known themes, whereas in the last composition – Amazing Grace – he showed his aspiration towards blues and improvisation. Finally, by playing an encore – a famous Early Croatian song Fala (Croatian: Thank You) – he sincerely thanked the audience who described the performances of the last two compositions as being transcendent. 31 Aug 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv9_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 Robert Škiljan, editor-in-chief of the SSN Herald, talked to Mihael Paar at the beginning of July 2005 and recorded a very detailed and comprehensive interview in which its protagonist gave his consideration to all relevant aspects of his artistic work. M.Paar inspiringly talks about the disposition of man, the concept of jazz, the relation between classical and entertaining, the digital era and its implications, musical composition, and journalism. A dynamic conversation reveals complex and highly defined attitudes of this young artist whose reflections go into thematically different areas. About the gap between classical and entertaining M.Paar says: "...it is impossible to ignore the quality of the musical being, no matter what genre it comes from”, whereas about himself as a composer he states: "…musical composition meets my other inclination which I as a reproductive musician am not able to respond to adequately.” When it comes to the matter he is being occupied with M.Paar is very explicit: "When I devote myself to something, I devote myself completely, without a compromise, and with all my being. The result of this is my aspiration towards perfection and virtuosity in the widest meaning of the word, so the average always comes too heavily upon me.” In the end he concludes in the spirit of the homo universalis: "I strongly believe that a human being as such should feel called upon to use all his resources as to finally develop his potentials into concrete and articulate skills.” Read the entire interview. 16 Jul 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv8_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 At the major Intenational competiton Soloist with Orchestra, which took place in Padua, Italy from July 12 till July 14, Mihael Paar entered the semifinals as one of the seven chosen competitors, all of which successfully passed the first round of the competition.

Thus Mihael Paar took part in performing along with some of the established names from the international music scene who were invited to give concerts in important music cities in Italy. Only a day after his debut in Venice (Palace Albrizzi), he gave a recital in one of the most significant historic palaces in Padua (Palace Zacco Armeni). Together with renowned Italian pianist Maddalena Murari, nine times first prize winner at the established piano competitions, he performed works by Lovreglio, Debussy, Poulenc, and Giamperi. 15 May 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv5_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 At the International Piano Composition Competition Town of Challenge (15th Edition) which took place in Barletta (Bari) in Italy from May 3 to May 8, Mihael Paar won 3rd prize for his one movement piece Amoroso for solo piano.

In a single category without age limit, eighteen compositions submitted anonymously and signed only by a maxim entered for the competition. Although it is only now that M.Paar brought out this composition of his, he wrote it as early as in 2000, when he was not even 20 at the time, but still the work has not had its premiere yet. Special weight to this prize is given by the fact that he is neither a pianist nor has he ever studied composition, whereas in a very strong international competition he distinguished himself as one of the youngest competitors and the only one coming from Croatia 8 May 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv4_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 Listen to the interview* (in Croatian) Mihael Paar gave to Edi Kirschenheuter and Radio Samobor in the show People of Samobor in Anecdotes broadcast on February 27, 2005.

Rimsky-Korsakov. His performance drew enthusiastic applause from the audience." 3 Feb 2005 18:22:19 GMT http://www.mihaelpaar.com/arhiv_en/arhiv2_en.htm CBC03668-3187-4F79-A106-72C793B0A799 Listen to Mihael Paar's latest recording made in collaboration with renowned Croatian pianist Ivan Batoš in October 2004.

The recording was highly praised by the audience, critics, and especially by M.Paar's clarinetist colleagues due to artist's ability of using complex techniques of double tonguing and circular breathing and above all due to his virtuoso technical performance.
