Biography

Born in Gjakovë, Kosova on 27 August 1972 where I finished the elementary school of music. During this period of time I took part on the meetings of young talented pianists of Kosova, and later on meetings of young talented pianists of former Yougoslavia. The post basic study on theory of music I finished in Prishtina, Kosova where I also took private lessons on piano, clarinet and conducting. In Skopje, Macedonia I finished the percussions on the conservatorim there.
After the very good preparations that I was able to enjoy in Kosova and Macedonia, I was accepted at the conservatorium of music in The Netherlands as the student of the assistent of the famous Karajan, GMD. Herr Tilo Lehmann. Here I was noticed as a talented and hard working student. In this conservatorium I followed lessons in viola and piano. I finished my post-university study of conducting at the Messiaen academy where I was the first student to have been accepted as aonductor of this academy. During this time I was the conductor of different student orchestras in Holland.
I have specialised in opera at the conservatorium Franz Liszt in Weimar, Germany. I started to gain practical experience during the last years of my study, where I conducted and followed some different conducting courses at different opera houses like the Mittelsachsische Opera und Philharmonie orchestra in Freiburg, Germany where I studied different operas like the Magic flute of Mozart, DIe Freischutz of C.M. von Weber etc. Now I am conducotor of the 'Opera and Philharmony of Kosovo'.

I conducted the Lund symphony orchestra in Sweden, RTV orchestra of Albania, Operetta of Veendam in the Netherlands and the last years I realised one dream of mine: to conduct the 5th symphony of Beethoven with Philharmony orchestra of Kosova during the national celebration of the day of the flag.
