Jasna Jovicevic Pusztai, a sax player and composer who just completed her master’s degree in music composition at York, launches her first CD, Invented Reality, Aug. 25 at Trane Studio in 
downtown Toronto.
As the title suggests, the CD is a play on what’s real and what is not. It’s a theme Jovicevic Pusztai has been struggling with since she left the former Yugoslavia some 16 years ago during the Yugoslav wars. (See YFile, July 25.)
