Ljubinko Lazić, principal

Orchestra member since 2006.

I take special pride in the double bass and its potentials, which I am constantly exploring. I am also proud of being a member of the international double bass quartet Basiona Amoroza, with which I have appeared on four continents in more than 600 concerts.

When I am not playing the double bass, I enjoy the nature and its offerings. I also take pleasure in the family business – production of honey, wine and rakija. I play the tamboura, I have my own music school in Stara Pazova and Vojka, my birthplace…
