Background:
Since Petar Jankovic began his performance career in 1985, he has performed numerous concerts and given masterclasses in both the United States, and Europe. Having garnered numerous national and international prestigious awards, Jankovic is currently a very active performer.
Jankovic began his guitar studies at age 8 in his native Yugoslavia, where he later earned a degree in classical guitar from the Music Academy in Belgrade. While in Yugoslavia, he became a two-time gold medal, silver medal, and two-time bronze medal winner at the National Music Competition. At age 16, he delivered his first professional performance, and by age 20, the Community College in Belgrade invited Jankovic to share his expertise with beginning classical guitar students. This marked the beginning of a teaching career that has developed alongside his successful performing career.
He went on to earn a masters degree from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and, in the mid-90s, he pursued an Artist Diploma Degree under the guidance of Maetsro Ernesto Bitetti. Jankovic developed a guitar program at Franklin College, IN, in 1997.
In 1998, Jankovic released "Romantico" - a CD exploring the sounds of the romantic Spanish and Latino-American world that features Jankovic's interpretations of pieces by Albeniz, Torrobba, Pipo, Piazzolla, and Ponce. In 2002, Jankovic released his "Bogdanovic, Brouwer, Dyens" CD featuring works by the most prominent and played classical guitar composers living today. In 2008 Jankovic released his "Leyenda: CD featuring works by Villa-Lobos, Albeniz, Tansman, Granados, Dyens and Merlin.
