Described as “a masterfully crafted composer with true clarity and purity of vision” (Guitar Review), Dušan Bogdanović has developed a personal synthesis of contemporary classical music, jazz, and world music. His oeuvre comprises over two hundred published compositions, including a variety of commissions for solo guitar, chamber ensembles, orchestra, and multimedia, as well as numerous recordings. Early in his career, he received the only First Prize at the Geneva Competition and gave a highly acclaimed debut recital at Carnegie Hall in 1977.
Dušan’s theoretical works include Études polyrythmiques et polymétriques, Contrepoint pour guitare, and L’harmonie pour guitare classique, published by Edizione Curci, as well as Ex Ovo and Tradition et synthèse, published by Doberman/Oz Productions. After teaching at the Belgrade University of Music and the San Francisco Conservatory, Dušan was on the faculty at the Geneva University of Music from 2007 to 2020.
The Ahn Trio, with Daniel Dae Kim’s production company 3AD, commissioned Prisms – Six Songs By Sting in honor of their late mother, a writer “who loved life and especially Sting’s music.”
