About Me
Serbian jazz pianist and composer
“Composer and pianist Tihomir Stojiljkovic is a real discovery for me! His creativity represents a unique synthesis of different musical worlds, in which the oldest melodies of Byzantium, the rich tradition of Balkan music, and the sophisticated harmonic structure of modern jazz intertwine. His pianism is characterized by virtuosity and expressiveness, while specific rhythms and modal scales bring a sense of mysticism and deep emotions. What makes his music particularly impressive is the ability to connect the ancient and the modern - to translate the spirit of past centuries into a sound expression that resonates in today's time, all of which is woven into the rich expressive language of modern jazz.” — Dr. Tatjana Surev, pianist “I've never heard deeper music… TIHOMIR dug up the Balkan region in full.” — Bojan Z, pianist & composer “Tihomir Stojiljkovic, a jazz pianist and composer, creates an extremely original fusion of jazz, Serbian, and Balkan musical traditions. What sets him apart from other artists who practice this type of fusion is the spontaneity and sincerity of his approach and the special balance with which elements of jazz and folk tradition are combined and merged into one intimate, authentic style. This kind of music belongs to jazz but is also wider; it, in its way, extends the folk tradition. Many will like it.” — Milos Raickovich, composer & conductor Serbian pianist and composer Tihomir Stojiljkovic offers a fresh and captivating look at the rich musical traditions of the Balkans, seamlessly blending them with the improvisational spirit of modern jazz. His solo piano performances are virtuosic and deeply emotional. They guide the audience through intricate Balkan melodies, rhythms, and folklore, all tastefully reimagined through contemporary music. Tihomir's trilogy, including Solo, Solo Update, and Solo Upgrade, showcases his ability to tell timeless stories through the piano. He captures the essence of his cultural heritage while pushing musical boundaries. Whether gracing a grand festival stage or filling an intimate concert hall, Tihomir's performances captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.
