Maja Bogdanović

Cellist Maja Bogdanovic performs repertory of many kinds but is especially known for collaborating with contemporary composers. She is active in France, the U.S., and Amsterdam, where she lives with her husband and family. Bogdanovic joined the Rodrieg Ensemble and made her recording debut with that group on its 2013 album Holy War X. Her solo debut came two years later on with England's Orchestra of the Swan, performing the Cello Concerto of Philip Sawyers. Bogdanovic has appeared as a soloist with leading orchestras around Europe and beyond. She was especially closely associated with Krzysztof Penderecki, whose Cello Concerto No. 2 she performed with the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra under the composer's baton; she also recorded the work in 2020. In 2023, Bogdanovic joined Serbia's RTS Symphony Orchestra on a recording of cello concertos by Lalo and Saint-Saëns.
