Piran, Slovenia 23.07.2011.
Mr. Milenkovich had the opportunity to play the wonderful 17th century Amati violin that belonged to legendary Giuseppe Tartini. Many thanks to the city of Piran for making this possible, as well as their gracious hospitality.
Giuseppe Tartini (8 April 1692 – 26 February 1770) was born in Piran (then in the Republic of Venice). Among Tartini's numerous contributions to modern violin playing, he's also composer of the famous "Devil's Trill" violin sonata. It is said that Tartini was inspired by a dream in which he heard the most incredible violin playing by the devil himself.

"On April 16th, 2011, violinist Stefan Milenkovich gave a WorldPremiere of Rudolf Haken's Violin Concerto dedicated to Mr. Milenkovich within music festival "NOMUS" in Novi Sad, Serbia, together with Camerata Academica string orchestra. Two days later the performance was repeated to another exhilarating audience response in Kolarac Hall in Belgrade, Serbia."
"Rudolf Haken's "Concerto for Violin, String Orchestra and Drum Set" is a work inspired by Stefan's spectacular virtuosity as well as friendship developed over the past five years teaching at the University of Illinois - composer Rudolf Haken says. The work received such an energetic and enthusiastic response from the audience that Mr. Milenkovich repeated the most virtuosic part of the concerto, final movement "Passacaglia with variations" with rock and jazz elements, after which the applause and excited screams from the audience looked like ending of a rock concert."
