ABOUT Jure Goručan
Jure Goručan is a Slovenian pianist and percussionist known for his versatility and artistic depth. Born in 1992 in Ljubljana, he studied percussion under Boris Šurbek before dedicating himself fully to the piano. His musical journey has taken him through the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne, where he studied with Arbo Valdma and Paulo Álvares, and later to the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna under the guidance of Lilya Zilberstein. He currently refines his artistry with Sara Daneshpour at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Goručan has collaborated with prominent orchestras including the Slovenian Philharmonic, RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, Residenz-Solisten of Munich, Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestra, Zagreb Soloists, and Pärnu City Orchestra. As a chamber musician, he has performed alongside distinguished artists such as Roman Kim, Géza Hosszú-Legocky, Paulo Álvares, Melvyn Tan, the Signum Quartett, Alja Mandič, and Lyda Chen-Argerich. He has also appeared at prestigious festivals including ClaviCologne, Le Printemps du Violon, Festival de Bellerive, Festival Maribor, and the Triple Bridge Festival.
His recording projects reflect a broad artistic vision, with four albums spanning solo, chamber, and cross-genre collaborations. These include a Sony Classical release with violinist Roman Kim, his solo debut Innuendo, Beautiful Vida—an improvisational exploration of Slovenian folk music with singer Ljoba Jenče—and a recording of works by Prokofiev and Schubert with flutist Aleksandra Pleterski.
Goručan's performances have taken him throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, including extensive tours in China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Highlights include the world premiere of Arturo Cuéllar's Piano Sonata No. 2 at the Central Theatre of Shanghai, performances of Mozart and Beethoven concertos in Munich's Cuvilliés-Theater and Herkulessaal, broadcasts on KBS Korea, and recurring collaborations with Steinway Thailand.
Beyond performance, Goručan is deeply interested in the artistic, historical, and interdisciplinary dimensions of music, exploring how interpretation, psychology, and the broader cultural context shape musical expression.
