Musical beginnings

edit

Igor Milić was born on October 5, 1972, in Osijek, Croatia. His first contact with music was when, as a five-year-old boy, he started to play the guitar and tamburitza (a Croatian stringed folk instrument, similar to the guitar) for his family. When he was nine years old, he started to participate in Josip Kolaric's tamburitza orchestra in which he played different kinds of tamburitza: brač, čelo, bugarija and berda. He continued with this orchestra for 5 years and performed in number of tamburitza reviews and festivals, in which the orchestra received many prestigious awards. While playing in Josip Kolaric's orchestra, beginning in 1982, he also played bugarija in the folklore society "Biseri Slavonije", led by Franjo Slavko Batorek. He played with this orchestra until 1987 when he moved to the folklore society "Srđan Petrov", where he stayed until 1991, also playing bugarija, berda and brač in the national orchestra led by Miroslav Tanacković and in the tamburitza band led by Zvonko Murinji. During the period 1987 to 1991, he also played berda and sang in the tamburitza band "Bekrije". In the period 1991 to 1997, he played with many tamburitza bands, such as "Josip Batorek" with berda and bugarija, as well as with several popular bands ("Zlatne Suze", "Pink Lady", "Vanessa Band" – bass guitar, guitar, vocal), and made some notable performances, such as Sinisa Cmrk's "Turbo Limač Show", and as backup artist with a number of renowned Croatian singers.

"Slavonski Bećari" won many awards and tributes, not only in Croatia, but also around the world.

He has participated with theatrical producer Richard Montez, founder of the international theatre "Cornerstone Arts", who gave Igor Milić one of the main roles in the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, that was performed in Osijek and Slavonski Brod.[14][15] For the same musical, he directed the orchestra in Arena in Varaždin.

Tamburitza school

edit

In 2008, together with Emerik Huđik, he founded the tamburitza school in Erdut, under the auspices of the folklore society "Šandor Petefy". In this school he works as the music pedagogue and teacher of tamburitza and is the leader of two orchestras with more than 30 children participating. These orchestras have performed various places in Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia, and have also performed with many famous musicians, including Antun Nikolić Tuca, Igor Delač, Mario Roth, Adriana Baković.[16] In addition to writing out many arrangements for the tamburitza orchestra, he has also transcribed 16 indigenous national Hungarian songs from the area of Dalj Planina.
