NEW PROJECT!
I am happy to present my new project with great musicians and friends!
I composed for it music to the poetry of Jewish Viennese poet and Polish resistance fighter
Tamar Radzyner (1927–1991), whom I recently discovered through her first book of poetry, published posthumously by Theodor Kramer Gesellschaft in Vienna.
The second part of the program consists of my new instrumental pieces,
composed exclusively for this line up.
Jelena Popržan
feat.
Christoph Pepe Auer - Clarinet & Sax
Clemens Sainitzer - Cello
Lina Neuner - Double Bass
Premiere at Glatt&Verkehrt Festival, July 2021
Vojin Draškoci Award 2020
What an honour to get this award! To be among such great names as Vasil Hadžimanov, Vladko Stefanovski, Nenad Vasilić, Papa Nik and others. Thank you very much World music asocijacija Srbije for this recognition. This award is called after Vojin Draškoci, very important musician who influenced so many big artists in Serbia and abroad. Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him or to learn directly from him but I guess I may be proud to come as far.

"Fascinating and limitless"
– FALTER (AT)
"One of the most versatile musicians in the country ... Jelena Popržan presents with" La Folia "a breathtaking debut album."
– Radio Ö1, Jazz-Magazinn (AT)
"Check out this seriously talented musician who will blow your mind with her viola ...
... she brings a Rock ‘n’ Roll aesthetic to what some see as a bloated violin ...
... Jelena sounds cooler than a cucumber to us!"
– Wurstelstand (AT)

One of the songs I wrote for the theater play "Zrenjanin" by Igor Štiks, directed by Boris Liješević, produced by "Narodno pozorište Toša Jovanović" Zrenjanin, Serbia. This is a story about my hometown, about the traumatas coused by privatisation of the public property, unemloyment, coruption and never the less political ignorance.
