Maja Radovanlija, born in Belgrade, is an internationally recognized classical guitarist who will perform with visiting artists and vocalists Brothers Teofilović.
Maja received her Doctor of Music at Indiana University and has performed frequently as a solo and chamber musician, touring European countries, Middle east and North Africa. Maja serves as guitar faculty at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Her interests include musical genres beyond classical, such as traditional Balkan music, jazz, experimental, and improvised music.
Ratko and Radiša of Brothers Teofilović perform new vocal interpretations of the traditional folk music of Serbia and the Balkans, which has grown into their lifelong commitment. Their approach of this traditional poetic and musical heritage offers an authentic, never-before-used-form, a two-voice a capella, which has become their professional musical signature, helping them to forge a unique position in the musical landscape of the Balkans.
