Perhaps most striking was his ability to bring what I call “composer’s mind” to his playing. This was not mere reproduction but a philosophical exploration of the musical content. Being a composer himself, he could really delve into the question of what the composer wanted to say.

BIO
Hajrudin Muhic is a composer, arranger, and pianist hailing from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
His musical journey started in Bosnia, where he began his music education. In January 2021, after graduating in Bosnia, Hajrudin was awarded a scholarship to study Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA).
Hajrudin’s remarkable talent garnered him prestigious awards, including the coveted Cvjetko Rihtman award from the Association of Composers – Music Authors of Bosnia and Herzegovina, recognizing him as the country’s finest composition student. He was also celebrated as the top student at the Academy of Arts in Banja Luka during Vlado S. Milosevic’s Days.
During his senior year at Berklee, Hajrudin served as an assistant to various professors, contributing his expertise in orchestration, composition, and MIDI mockup courses. His exceptional journey also led to the Michael Kamen award, honoring his dedication and artistic prowess.
As a film composer, his compositions have graced award-winning films at festivals in Bosnia, Serbia, Portugal, Russia, and Greece. Notably, his recent work for the movie “Guguto Memeto” was recognized at the 9th Film Olympiad in Greece, as one of the winners in the Best Original Music category.
Hajrudin writes concert music for different solo and chamber ensembles, with his compositions recorded at the legendary Power Station Studio in New York. He also plays a pivotal role as a music engraver and graphic designer on nationally important projects, further contributing to the cultural richness of his homeland. In addition to these accomplishments, Hajrudin’s diverse skill set extends to software engineering, where he created “Malleus.” This innovative software, which was featured in dissertations, is designed to enhance musical understanding and literacy.
