Concert of Toni Kitanovski and D.N.O in Apollonia Hotel One of the events that was in the programme of the city of Gevgelija for the community holiday celebration was a concert of Toni Kitanovski together with the Cherkezi Orchestra and D.N.O. This concert, which was a mix on ethno jazz and experimental rock music, was something new and attractive for the Gevgelian musical public. For those who don’t know, Toni Kitanovski and Cherkezi Orchestra are very famous abroad; they are the " Discovery of the Year " according to Süddeutsche Zeitung magazine from Germany. Read all about this and more on the following web page: www.tonikitanovski.com The concert started with songs from the album called “Silence” by the five piece modern rock band D.N.O. They are more then just a musical group—they are a core of young and talented Macedonian artists to which other talented people are usually being attracted and invited to participate in their own way.

On the occasion of the liberation of Gevgelija on the 6th of November in the exhibition parlor in Apollonia Hotel, was held the second constant affirmative exhibition of work on artists from Gevgelija. The exhibited arts will stay for a longer period so that many people from our town and guests who stop by in the hotel can see the work of the Gevgelian artist. The exhibition was organized by the Association of Artists from Gevgelija (DLUG) and Apollonia Foundation.

He finished pedagogical academy - group art in the class of S.Kunovski in 1979 and graduated in 1984 from the Faculty of Fine Arts in the class of Dimitar Kondovski.

“...The world of Gevgelian artists presents following and making sense of ones constantly awake spirit, search for the essential values. Artists create so that they can exist.” Ilija Karajanov
He’s had several solo exhibitions in Skopje, Australia, Germany and over 30 group exhibitions in Macedonia and abroad. Danco Kal’cev is winner of the community award “7th of November” for special contribution to the culture of the Municipality of Gevgelija.
Nature Day - workshops This month, aside from its regular activities, Nature Day organized two workshops for the children. The first took place at the Day Center for Children with special needs, where together with these children we learned about evergreen and deciduous trees. From their leaves we made drawings and different kinds of decorations which we exhibited all over the place and brought nature into their everyday atmosphere. In the second workshop we included a quiz on everything that we’ve learned so far about nature. It’s our plan that all things that the children do (drawings, card etc) will be shown in a collective exhibition. The money from this exhibition will help the project Nature Day, and the children in it, to realize their future goals. This event will be held during Christmas Holidays in Apollonia Hotel, and everyone that is in the distributional list for our Newsletter will receive an electronic invitation to take part of it.
