Who is Dejan Bogdanović?

Dejan Bogdanovic is a Serbian violinist.

Bogdanovic comes from a family in which art has always been a way of life. His grandfather, a famous sculptor from Belgrade, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris and there met Pablo Picasso with whom a long and profound friendship was formed. Even today it is possible to admire his monuments in the squares of many cities of the Ex-Yugoslavia.

His father is a well known painter and writer; exhibitions of his works have had great following at home and abroad and his books of poems and prose have been translated into numerous European languages.

From an early age Dejan showed a remarkable inclination for music and began his studies at the "Isidor Bajić" school of music in his home town, Novi Sad, one of the most prestigious cultural centres of the Ex-Yugoslavia. At the "Baic" institute he was a pupil of two well known teachers, Maestro R. Kovac and Maestro J. Furman and soon after he was accepted for the S.Z.M.T., the only one of its kind and under the patronage of the President of the Republic.
