Petar Bergamo

Petar Bergamo (27 February 1930 in Muć near Split – 4 September 2022 in Zagreb)[1] was a Yugoslav composer.

Bergamo was born in Muć near Split, Croatia, then Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

He graduated from the Belgrade Music Academy in 1960, where he studied composition with Stanojlo Rajičić and conducting with Živojin Zdravković.

Bergamo wrote two symphonies, works for chorus, children’s songs, film scores, and incidental music for radio.

His early music is in a late-Romantic style, while his later works show increasing tendencies toward atonality and freedom from traditional forms.
