Belgrade-born saxophonist, clarinetist and composer \u0110or\u0111e Kujund\u017ei\u0107 (1993) received classical training as a clarinetist, studying in Belgrade, Lugano and Lucerne, where he earned a master\u2019s degree under the guidance of renowned clarinetist Paolo Beltramini. His thesis, \u201cThe Melodic Library of Babel\u201d, was inspired by Jorge Luis Borges\u2019 short story \u201cThe Library of Babel\u201d. After returning to Serbia, Kujund\u017ei\u0107 studied jazz at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade and became active across jazz, rock and classical music. First introduced to the saxophone during his studies in Switzerland, he began with alto before adding baritone, which gradually became his principal instrument. His international performances with groups including Naked have taken him to festivals such as Jazz sous les pommiers, Horizonte Festival, ACC World Music Festival and WOMEX. In 2025, he released two albums under his own name: \u201cThe Sound of Night\u201d, featuring his compositions for jazz quartet and performed exclusively on baritone saxophone, and \u201cAnte Grgin \u2013 Sonate\u201d, recorded with pianist Olga Petrovi\u0107 on clarinet and alto saxophone.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5600,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","artists-tag":[5],"class_list":["post-5542","artists","type-artists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artists-tag-24-10"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
