Lazar Djordjević serves as an Assistant Professor in Composition at the Composition Department of the Faculty of Music, University of Belgrade. He is concurrently completing his PhD studies in composition at the same institution after achieving highest grades in both bachelor's and master's programs under Prof. Zoran Erić.
His academic journey includes:
- Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the Faculty of Music in Belgrade (highest grades)
- PhD in Composition (final year) at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade
- Specialization through international workshops with Peter Ablinger, Vinko Globokar, Stephen McNeff, Sidney Corbett, Johannes Kretz, and Yann Robin
Djordjević specializes in contemporary classical composition with emphasis on orchestral innovation and accordion repertoire. His work integrates Serbian musical elements with avant-garde techniques, notably creating Serbia's first accordion concerto for orchestra. He actively explores the intersection of traditional Balkan influences and modern compositional practices through both original works and orchestrations.
His compositions from 2016-2021 reveal consistent thematic depth in memory and cultural identity, primarily through orchestral and accordion formats. These works demonstrate progressive technical mastery in symphonic writing while maintaining distinct Serbian musical characteristics, frequently premiered by leading ensembles like RTS Symphony Orchestra and featured at international festivals including Rostrum and Rossifest.
His major recognitions include:
- Euphonia International Festival of Accordion First Prize (2016)
- Stevan Hristić Award (2015)
- Josip Slavenski Award (2017)
- Portrait and Remembrance Competition Special Prize (2021)
Djordjević maintains active performance collaborations with musicians including violoncellist Nemanja Stanković and violist Saša Mirković, though no formal student advising or grant activities are documented. His works span concert music, applied compositions, and orchestrations performed by ensembles such as Construction site, Camerata Academica, and Metamorphosis.
