Dragan Djordjevic Suzuki
Music is my soul. Violoncello is my voice.
Behind the Music
A Lifetime of Music.
According to press descriptions and critics' reviews, Dragan Djordjevic is one of the most original artistic personalities of his generation. Better known as Suzuki, Djordjevic earned his nickname thanks to the famous Suzuki method, which helped him take his first musical steps when he was only six years old. He began his music education with the violin at the School for Musical Talents in Ćuprija, but two years later, he decided to pursue the cello. After his initial lessons with Professor Relja Ćetković, the cello became his permanent choice.
Upon completing his studies at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade under the guidance of Sandra Belić, he went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he studied with Professor Stefan Popov. During his time in London, he had the opportunity to perform with one of the world's most prestigious orchestras, such as the London Symphony Orchestra, and he also served as the guest solo cellist for the Royal Northern Symphony.
​
After meeting the renowned Jang-Chang Choom in 2002, he decided to specialize in his class at the High School of Music in Essen, Germany. After a few years in Germany, he received the prestigious Honorary Diploma and, simultaneously, as a very young musician, was appointed as a professor of cello at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade.
