The famous conductor has led the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra nine times so far, the last time as a special guest in the first open-air concert in 2017.

Mehta once stated that he has had a connection with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra since his first guest appearance in 1958, and that he followed the development of that orchestra with great interest, especially after 2000.

For his 10th performance with the Belgrade Philharmonic, the maestro chose "royal" works of symphonic music, which once upon a time motivated him to become a conductor.

The gala concert will be broadcast live on Serbia's RTS 2 broadcaster, while all tickets have been sold out.

Vucic received Mehta in Belgrade's Villa Mir, and the meeting was also attended by the director of the Belgrade Philharmonic, Ivan Tasovac.
