concert and the best composer for the same year. The next CD "Tiresias" (1998) includes his music for antique tragedies "Bacchants" and "Medea" by Euripides. Because of this material he takes the offer to make an opera for Seneca's "Oedipus" which will be directed by English director David Gothard. On 10th of Sep. 1999 he had a benefit concert together with Philip Glass, John Gibson, and Foday Musa Suso trio in Skopje, Universal Hall. The concert activites are with his "Ezgija - Orchestra", which is a group of six members. They are playing the music based on Broken beat patterns, melodic lines with elements of Macedonian folklore and improvisations with "ezgija" feelings, reflecting sensibility of modern in the world music. Ezgija is an old Macedoniam word for specific condition of increased sense during the play. That's why in some way Bodan Arsovski & Ezgija Orchestra are cultural reprensatative of his country.
