He regularly performs as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, with appearances at renowned festivals and venues such as Festival d\u2019Ambronay, H\u00e4ndel-Festspiele G\u00f6ttingen, Festival Musiq3, MAfestival Brugge, OudeMuziek Utrecht, Music Chapel Festival, BOZAR, Flagey, and Chapelle Royale de Versailles, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">He has collaborated with esteemed baroque musicians and ensembles such as Fran\u00e7ois Fernandez, Julien Chauvin, Jaap Schr\u00f6der, Valentin Tournet, Les Muffatti, La Chapelle Harmonique, and Harmonia Sacra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Belgrade, \u017deljko began studying accordion at the age of six, later expanding his training to piano, harpsichord, vocal performance, and vocal coaching. He won multiple first prizes in competitions, including the Kornelije Stankovi\u0107 Piano Competition (2008), the Serbian National Solo Singing Competition (2011), and the 10th International Petar Stojanovi\u0107 Festival in the solo singing category (2012).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Focusing on harpsichord and early music, \u017deljko pursued studies with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Haas at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where he earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree in 2015 and a master&#8217;s degree with high distinction in 2017. He further honed his skills in masterclasses with renowned musicians such as Pierre Hanta\u00ef, Skip Semp\u00e9, Amandine Beyer, Mira Glodeanu, and Paolo Zanzu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In 2012, shortly after moving to Belgium, \u017deljko was invited by BOZAR Brussels to open the retrospective exhibition \u201cAntoine Watteau\u201d with a harpsichord recital. That same season, he performed Bach&#8217;s harpsichord concertos across Belgium, France, and Serbia. He was selected for the Emerging program in 2016 with the ensemble BarrocoTout and performed as a soloist and continuo player under Rinaldo Alessandrini with the OFJ Baroque Orchestra in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">\u017deljko also studied operatic singing at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and specialized in baroque vocal performance with Pascal Bertin, Robin Blaze, and Peter Kooij. As one of the rare classical musicians who sings while accompanying himself on harpsichord or organ, \u017deljko performs both standard baroque repertoire and roles created specifically for him. In 2017, he portrayed the title role in Monteverdi\u2019s L\u2019Orfeo at deSingel (Antwerp, Belgium) under the direction of Luigi De Angelis and conductor Hern\u00e1n Schvartzman. In 2020, he created the theatrical recital Ceux qui savent pleurer ont les plus beaux yeux du monde, performed in France and Belgium. In 2025, \u017deljko will continue to perform lead roles in Charivari at the Avignon Festival and at Studio Lyrique de Tourcoing with the ensemble Il Buranello, directed by Denis Mignien. A CD version of the production will be recorded in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">\u017deljko\u2019s concerts have been broadcast by France Musique, Culturbox, Musiq3, Klara Radio, ORF Radio, and Radio Belgrade. He has recorded albums with Les Muffatti and Mus\u00e6 Jovis and contributed to Sanda Majurec\u2019s original album. Composers Jug K. Markovi\u0107 and Sanda Majurec have dedicated harpsichord solo pieces to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">\u017deljko works as a vocal coach, accompanist, and vocal instructor with countertenor Xavier Sabata and ensembles such as Les Ombres, B-Rock, and Harmonia Sacra. He collaborates with organizations like Musiektheater Transparant and teaches harpsichord at the Hoofdstedelijke Kunstacademie Brussel (2023\u20132024).<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This concert, blending music and gastronomy, offers a truly synesthetic experience.
