Interview with Iva Ugrčić
Episode 10
Wednesday, 1 October, 2025

This episode features an inspiring conversation we had with award-winning flutist and arts advocate Dr. Iva Ugrčić, the founder and director of LunART Festival, a celebration of women artists in its eighth year. She takes us through her educational journey, from Serbia to Paris to Madison, Wisconsin, and walks us through the criteria she uses for selecting composers, both for her festival and for her own commissions. Iva has no regrets and appreciates everything she has experienced in work and life. And she tells us that she’s already living her dream! We love that. https://www.ivaugrcic.com/Chen Yi, Gi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty_ex4KABIcSato Matsui: https://www.satomatsui.com/3rd Coast: https://www.thirdcoastchambercollective.com/projects/chamber-camp
