Pavle Kamiloski with a chamber orchestra at the Macedonian Philharmonic on December 4 - Italian canzoni and Macedonian evergreens with strings

Pavle Kamiloski performs on December 4 at 20:00 in the main concert hall of the Macedonian Philharmonic, with a chamber string orchestra, a live band and special guests. The programme brings together Italian canzoni, Macedonian evergreens and his own music.

Kamiloski is a self-taught baritone with roots in Galičnik, and his musical story began at sea. He worked as a bartender on the British liner Queen Mary 2, won a crew talent contest and then left to study singing. Around ten years later, in 2022, he returned to the same ship - this time with his own show. At home he is known as the man behind the concert series "Little Italy Travels", in which he performs Italian canzoni and French chansons with an orchestra, alongside evergreens from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Nat King Cole.

The concert is pitched as a musical and visual experience: strings, a band, stage lighting and guests the organisers aren't revealing yet. Kamiloski once said in an interview that he loves singing "music that has weight, soul and stirs emotion". The Italian canzone is exactly that kind of repertoire - beautiful when it's sincere and merciless when it isn't.

Tickets run from 800 to 1,500 denars on karti.com.mk. Watch the date: one spot in the seller's announcement says November 4, but the ticket sale and the poster both list December 4.
