LJUBIŠA JOVANOVIĆ is a famous Serbian flutist who is looking for backers to support him publish his two most iconic classical music albums.
The first album compiles Baroque pieces, Handel and Couperin, and is performed by him and his colleagues. This album is dedicated to the 40 years of his work.
The second album, Perpetuum Mobile, contains music for flute and guitar and was recorded in collaboration with remarkable Vera Ogrizović.
With Your help, Ljubiša is finally going to be able to publish these two albums on which he's been working his entire career along with his colleagues, some of whom are, unfortunately, no longer with us.
Each album is going to be printed in 1000 copies.
