In Remembrance of Vesna Mikić (30 May 1967 – 30 October 2019)

Abstract

Last year, we prematurely lost Dr Vesna Mikić, a full professor at the Faculty of Music, one of Serbia’s leading scholars in the field of musicology, a member of the Faculty who spent almost three decades of her life engaging in selfless, passionate, expert, and committed participation in every aspect of the Faculty’s work, as a teacher as well as a major figure on Serbia’s cultural scene. She was a member of the Serbian Musicological Society, the Composers’ Association of Serbia, the Department of Stage Arts and Music at Matica Srpska in Novi Sad, and founder and director of the Centre for Studying Popular Music. But most of all, her colleagues and students will remember her as a generous, noble woman, endowed with an extraordinary kind of energy and joie de vivre, a fighting and authentic spirit, a dear colleague, comrade, and friend, entirely committed to her profession and students.
