Orchestra member since 1 December 2003.

I admire the team work and atmosphere in the cello section of the BPO and I am proud of the Belgrade Philharmonic String Quartet.

I am a great admirer of single espresso, mountain air, Mozart’s operas, sharp carving turns in skiing, Beethoven’s quartets, Belgrade rivers and quays, Mahler’s symphonies and the mood before every BPO concert. I especially enjoy silence.
