About

Maja Bosnić is a composer and performer from Belgrade. She is drawn to impossible missions, absurd solutions, limited material, playfulness, uncertain outcomes, audience participation, treating instruments as ready-made objects of expression, and treating everyday-life objects as musical instruments. Bosnić obtained a PhD degree in music composition at Goldsmiths, University of London (UK), and is currently working as Assistant Lecturer in Composition at the Faculty of Music at the University of Arts in Belgrade (Serbia). She writes pieces for solo, chamber, ensemble, and orchestra performances, as well as, projects for electronics, smartphones, videos and interactive settings with audience participation.
