Pianist Sonja Radojkovich CONTACT: EMAIL & WEBSITE

My name is Sonja Radojkovich. I am a pianist born in Belgrade(Serbia). When I had completed my studies at the Conservatory of Music in Belgrade, I then undertook a postgraduate course at Moscow's Tchaikovsky Conservatoire. On my return to Belgrade.I won many first prizes in Yugoslav competitions for pianists. One of my major successes was first prize at the Rachmaninov Piano Competition where I won, playing his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, against 57 other competitors. I actively play solo concertos and have played many times as soloist with orchestras. I hold the position of Professor at the Belgrade Music Academy and am also Professor of Piano at Sarajevo Music Academy. I am an active member of the Association of Music Artists of Serbia. I have very large repertoire and over the last few years have played much contemporary music.

I can speak the Russian language as well as some French.
