About us
The founder and concertmaster of the Belgrade Chamber Orchestra
Miljana Popović Materni
After working in the fields of symphonic and chamber music for a long period of time, and an abundance of concerts and collaborations (both nationally and around the world), I have decided to combine my experience and enthusiasm, and form an ensemble with my highly esteemed colleagues.
BCO is a chamber orchestra that will, in the most polished and beautiful way possible, present classical music pieces! All of the members have known and collaborated with each other for a long time. This connection, as well as the dedication of the entire orchestra, allows us to have the best results possible. I look forward to upcoming concerts and an unforgettable chapter in all of our professional lives!

Resident Artist
Stanko Madić
I am very excited and pleased to be Artist in Residence of newly founded Belgrade Chamber Orchestra! Throughout our work together in Italy on Brixen Festival I have learned the true potential of young and dynamic players of the BCO and am convinced they will raise the bar of Belgrade’s and world’s classical music scene!
With special accent on bringing my experience from best German orchestras to this new ensemble there is no limit to what we can achieve together!
Composer in residence
Ana Krstajić
Working with the Belgrade Chamber Orchestra is unique for several reasons. Each member brings their own rich experience and personal story, yet they complement one another within the ensemble in an extraordinary way, as their individual experiences intervene with a shared purpose.
What sets this orchestra apart is the long-standing relationships among its members. They are always curious about new musical ideas, and their enthusiasm and dedication to unfamiliar and contemporary repertoire is truly remarkable. Their respect for composers is profound, which I believe is essential for a successful collaboration between a composer and an ensemble.
