Ingmar Piano Duo was created in 2005 by two pianists and piano professors, Ms. Slobodanka Stevic and Mr. Aleksandar Gligic from Novi Sad, Serbia. Under the sponsorship of Wendl&Lung Piano Manufacturers, Vienna, the first CD with the music by Piazzolla, Barber and Kovacevic was released in 2006. So far, Ingmar Piano Duo has had great success with performing in concert and recitals, nurturing a modern musical approach as well as promoting original contemporary composers from the Balkans region. Ingmar Piano Duo has worked with eminent piano professors through their master classes: Vladimir Ogarkov, Svetlana Bogino, Dorian Leljak, etc.
They performed at the World Piano Conference EPTA 2009, which gathered pianists and piano professors from around the world, presenting, as a premiere for any of the Serbian pianists, Symphonic Dances by Sergei Rachmaninov for two pianos. As a result of their performance, Ingmar Piano Duo was offered to perform at the International Piano Competition Roma 2009 in Rome, Italy, and at the World Music Festival in Lisbon, Portugal in 2010. Ingmar Piano Duo gave a Serbian premiere performance of The Spell by Ms. Aleksandra Vrebalov (New York, USA) in October 2009, on request by the composer herself. At the recently ended 19th International Piano Competition ROMA 2009 in Rome (organized by Fryderyk Chopin Foundation, supported by the Ministry of Culture and the Office of the President of Italy), Ingmar Piano Duo was announced the top participant of the piano duo category, earning as well the Sergio Calligaris special prize, for best rendition of a work by this Italian contemporary composer. Concerto dei Vincitori (Concert of the Winners) was held at La Sapienza and was broadcasted by RT Vaticana.

Ingmar Piano Duo is scheduled for future recitals in South Africa, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Austria. Some of the planned activities for the upcoming period include a performance at the international pianistic competitions in the USA, Poland and Serbia.
