Sofija Devrnja Email & Phone Number

As a young musician seeking further knowledge and new ideas I moved from Belgrade to Vienna at the age of nineteen, and started my education at the Vienna Konservatory, Private University. The international environment which abounds in my personal experience, provided me with a substantial and specific background. After finishing my Bachelor and Masters degree as a concert cellist, I started to develop further interest in the educational, pedagogical and inter-disciplinary fields, enrolling into a „Master of Arts Education“ program - specifically focusing on researching and utilising new approaches to sound and music generation as well as composition and integration. My interest was not solely based on the classical music and classical music education, therefore I sought to expand my knowledge base and gain experience in collaborating within the modern musical modalities. As someone with the adequate musical and scientific background, the Vienna Academy of Science and Arts granted me the opportunity to collaborate on a seminal encyclopaedic publication which will include musical history and development of the Eastern European Region.Professional engagements:- Solo performance with pianist Dusan Egeric at " Kolarac Concert Hall", Serbian Academy of Arts and Science, Cultural Centre of Belgrade, " Madlenijanum" Opera Theatre,.- Live performance CD with pianist Dusan Egeric and Nada Majnaric, works of Beethoven, Haydn, Schostakovitch and Stravinsky. - Cello duet ensamble with Danijela Milutinovic performances at Belgrade City Hall, " Kolarac Concert Hall", City Hall of City Pancevo.- Numerous contemporary music concerts with Artists such as: Marino Formenti, Georg Friedrich Haas, Joe Zawinul, Olga Neuwirth, Roisin Myrphy ( Life Ball ).- Orchestral collaboration with Daniel Barenboim, Jakob Kreizberg, Jordi Savall.- Collaboration with Steven Isserlis, Mischa Maisky, Lynn Harrell, Maria Kliegel, Stefan Popov, Robert Nagy, Christop Stradner,
