Maja Bogdanovic

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 was born in 1982 in Belgrade, then in Yugoslavia, and grew up in the city's Zemun neighborhood. Her parents were both doctors but assigned a cousin the task of discovering musical talent in the family, and she was thus introduced to the cello. She took lessons there at the Kosta Manojlovic Music School from Nada Jovanovic. Bogdanovic was soon winning prizes in Serbia and beyond, including in the Czech Republic, Austria, France, and Italy. When she was 16, she went to Paris and auditioned successfully for a place at the Conservatoire. Her mother sold the family's condominium in Belgrade so that she could afford the tuition. After graduating from the Conservatoire with first prize honors, Bogdanovic earned a German Foreign Exchange Scholarship and moved to Berlin, attending the University of the Arts and studying there with Jens Peter Maintz. She took further lessons from cellists Bernard Greenhouse, Alban Gerhardt, Young-Chang Cho, and Heinrich Schiff. 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 on the Nimbus label, performing the Cello Concerto of Philip Sawyers. Bogdanovic has appeared as a soloist with leading orchestras around Europe and beyond, including the Berlin Symphony, the Tonhalle Orchestra of Zurich, and the Tokyo Philharmonic, among others. She has had a strong presence in the U.S., where she made a well-received debut at Carnegie Hall in New York, lived part-time in Chicago, and performed with the Lubbock and Spokane Symphony Orchestras. Bogdanovic has premiered works by various composers, including Sofia Gubaidulina, Eric Tanguy, and Sawyers, but 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 for the Dux label in 2020. In 2023, Bogdanovic joined Serbia's RTS Symphony Orchestra on a recording of cello concertos by Lalo and Saint-Saëns on the Challenge Classics label.
