Performing with various ensembles, maestro Sudjic accomplishes the mission of presenting new works of domestic authors and those lesser-known or, due to their complexity, rarely performed works of world historical heritage. Since his return to the RTS, as the artistic director and conductor in 2005, Maestro Bojan Sudjic has been continually expanding the repertoire of the RTS Symphony Orchestra and Choir, gaining recognition of the music audience for the high quality of performed concerts and recordings.

“The foundation of Sudjic’s art is a combination of expressive musicality and a sophisticated, authoritative and precise conductor gesture. With the knowledge of extensive literature and responsible attitude towards the score, the soloists and the ensemble with whom he works, Sudjic is sculpting music as his own creative piece. In this endeavor, the complex balance achieved between inspiration and craftsmanship, expressiveness and action, high motivation and rational control of all parameters of performance is quite specific.”(2)

“He is a natural talent with exceptional style and with one of the most beautiful techniques I have ever seen.” (3)
