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 (aka Hari) Muhic is a composer, orchestrator, arranger, and pianist from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
His musical journey began in Bosnia, where he started his music education before being awarded a scholarship to study Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA).
Hari’s remarkable talent has earned him prestigious awards as a pianist and composer, along with various grants and scholarships to advance his career. His exceptional journey at Berklee led to the Michael Kamen Award, which honored his dedication and artistic prowess.
As a film composer, his compositions have been featured in 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, where it won in the Best Original Music category.
Hajrudin also writes concert music for soloists and chamber ensembles, with his works recorded at the legendary Power Station Studio in New York. He frequently researches and lectures on Bosnian music traditions, which culminated in his production of the first show in the USA at the Berklee Performance Center, showcasing the history of Bosnian music from the 16th century to the present day. He has played a key role as a music engraver and graphic designer on nationally significant projects, further contributing to the cultural richness of his homeland.
In addition to his musical accomplishments, Hajrudin has expanded his expertise into software engineering, where he developed Malleus, an innovative tool featured in academic dissertations, aimed at enhancing musical understanding and literacy.
He was also given the opportunity to lecture at the first Creativitas camp held at MIT, where he taught pre-college students music technology and film scoring, inspiring the next generation of young musicians.
In short, Hari’s career bridges the fields of music, technology, and education.
He is currently employed at Berklee Online, where he serves as an assistant to professors, contributing his expertise in orchestration, composition, and MIDI mockup creation.
