The program to be performed will include masterpieces by Mozart, Liszt, Brahms, Lutoslawski, Debussy and a special selection of Gershwin and Tatum.

Shortly afterwards, he entered the class of Kemal Gekic at the University of Novi Sad in Yugoslavia, where he received his early training. Dacic made his American debut in 2003 at the Discovery Series of the Sixth Miami International Piano Festival. That same year, he performed at the Martha Argerich Project Festival in Lugano. Mr. Sun has been heard in recital throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Recent appearances include concert tours in Brazil, Colombia, the U.S., and China, and concerto engagements with the National Spanish Orchestra, the Macau Orchestra, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, and the Boca Raton Philharmonic Symphonia. Mr. Sun can also be heard on numerous radio and TV shows such as the “Young Artist Showcase” on WQXR Classical Radio, “Performance Today” on NPR, and “South Florida Today” on NBC-6.
