Jovanka Trbojevic (27/03/1963 - 12/05/2017), a female Finnish composer. She was born in former Yugoslavia, raised in Belgrade, and then took a piano diploma in Prague. In 1986 she settled in Finland, studying composition at the Sibelius Academy. Her background is thus a mixture of the Balkan music tradition, the Bohemian-German-Slav ethos and the academic Nordic approach to composition; she cannot be ascribed to any particular school. Major works include: ....kada bih mog'o biti drag... (1991) for mezzo-soprano, bass clarinet, double bass and percussion (text by Tin Ujevic); string quartet ORO (1993-94); Self-portrait with a Song (1993) for solo violin and folk music band; Wolfs lullaby (1995) and Rondo for Tara (2002) for clarinet, harp and double bass; Zuti put (1996) for ten musicians; Music for Gilles Requiem for orchestra and choir (1998-99); a music theatre play by Opera Nord; In the view of the wise for three female voices and their hands (2001); the Fantome... cycle of pieces for electronics and different solo instruments (1998-01); and Piano Sonata (2001-02). She also composed music for several documentary and feature films.
