A CONCERT given by internationally acclaimed pianist Viktor Bijelovic at Mount House School recently has raised £1,600 for the Parkinson's Disease Society.

Viktor's programme for the Mount House concert included works by Bach, Chopin and Liszt. The concert itself was followed by a light supper during which Viktor mingled with the audience. CDs of Viktor playing a selection of pieces by Beethoven and Liszt were given away free of charge.

Viktor Bijelovic was born in Belgrade in 1981, and after learning the piano in his home country, came to the UK to continue his studies at the Purcell School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.

He is very experienced, both as a solo concert pianist and as a chamber musician, having performed all over the world and made several television and radio appearances.

While at Mount House for the concert, he also gave a master class to five of the school's pupils who are studying the piano.

Judy Evans, who organised the concert, said: 'We are very grateful to Viktor for giving his services for such a good cause, and to Mount House School for providing the supper.

'It was their support that enabled us to make this contribution to the Parkinson's Disease Society.

'The audience was really thrilled with Viktor's programme and we have high hopes that he will be able to come back and entertain us all again before too long.'
