This web page showcases a series of group and solo projects led by Serbian born pianist and composer, Vladan Milenković. A powerful pianist with prodigious imagination and refined technique, Vladan merges acoustic and electronic mediums into emotionally charged sound-images which range from beautifully austere to exuberant to fairy-tale like. The variety and depth of his music can be perplexing. His compositions sometimes transcend categorization, bringing together vocabularies of various cultures and epochs, East and West, jazz and classical, ancient and postmodern, groove and silence, Balkan roots and electronica beats.

While studying biology at the University of Belgrade, Vlad had led his acclaimed jazz trio in former Yugoslavia before receiving a scholarship to study jazz composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1991. He completed his Masters degree at University of Northern Iowa and is on faculty at Augsburg College in Minneapolis. He performed or recorded with many known and unknown musicians from various music cultures, including Jeff Coffin, Anthony Cox, Peter Erskine, Ron Blake, Antonio Sanchez, Matthew Garrison, Ben Monder, and Dave King.

Vladan currently lives in Boston and is an Associate Professor of Piano at Berklee College of Music. He also teaches at Bridgewater State University and Augsburg College.
