About Milan

Internationally renowned violist Milan Milisavljević is Principal Viola with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.

His solo album Sonata-Song, published by Delos Music, has been reviewed by the Strad magazine as “most recommendable” and “tonally alluring," with the recording of A. Khatchaturian’s sonata hailed as “definitive."

He has won prizes at competitions such as ARD, Lionel Tertis, and Aspen Lower Strings, and has performed at Marlboro, Mainly Mozart, Classical Tahoe, and Aspen music festivals. Milan has appeared throughout the world as a soloist with orchestras such as the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Belgrade Philharmonic, Aspen Sinfonia, Orquesta Filarmónica de Boca del Río, and many others. His teachers include James Dunham, Nobuko Imai, and Atar Arad.

In addition to his activities as a performer, Milisavljević is increasingly in demand as an educator, conductor, and life coach.

He is on the viola faculty at the Mannes School of Music and has given master classes all over the world, including at The Juilliard School, the Rubin Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, and more. Milisavljević is a Larsen Strings Artist.
