Third-Time Recipient of the Melanija Bugarinović Scholarship

I am ending the year with some wonderful news and a great sense of gratitude: for the third time, I have received a scholarship from the Melanija Bugarinović and Mirjana Kalinović-Kalin Fund for the Advancement of Young Vocal Artists.

For decades, the Fund has supported young vocal artists in their education and professional development, which makes this recognition especially meaningful to me.

I first received the scholarship in 2015, then again in 2024, and I am now honoured to receive the Fund’s support for a third time.

What makes these three scholarships particularly meaningful is that they came at very different stages of my musical development. I therefore see them not only as support for my continued artistic growth, but also as a meaningful recognition of the consistency and work that connected those different stages.

I am deeply grateful to the Fund and to everyone whose work makes it possible for young singers to receive this kind of support on their artistic journey.
