Serbian pianist joins conservatory faculty
Pianist Boban Martic has joined the faculty of the Omaha Conservatory of Music.
Martic, a native of Belgrade, Serbia, holds a doctorate in piano performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
While there, he served as pianist Mark Clinton’s studio assistant, the highest teaching responsibility given to a doctoral student. Martic has performed in master classes for such renowned pianists as Claude Frank and Paul Gulda. An item last Sunday incorrectly named the school.
