Violinist | Conductor | Scholar

Born in Belgrade, Darko Milowich completed his foundational musical studies at the University of Arts’ Faculty of Music Arts, where he earned a Master of Music. He further refined his violin mastery under the guidance of E. Tschugaewa and R. Koelman, later expanding his artistry into conducting under the tutelage of Y. Simonov and Y. Ahronovitch. This multifaceted education forged his dual path as both a virtuoso violinist and a conductor, laying the cornerstone for a distinguished international career.

Milowich’s early career featured leadership roles with the Belgrade Strings, the Belgrade Radio Orchestra, and the Innsbruck Symphony Orchestra. In 1986, he moved to Luxembourg, becoming a long-standing member of the Luxembourg Philharmonic and the Solistes Européens. His profound contribution to the nation’s cultural life was formally recognized when he was appointed Knight of the Grand Ducal Order of the Oak Crown (Chevalier de l’Ordre de la Couronne de Chêne).

In 2014, his global influence expanded as a founding member of the Orquestra Nacional de Cabo Verde. His artistry has since taken him across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Israel. Notably, following a recital at London’s Wigmore Hall, he was acclaimed by the British press:

“The violinist with a solid technique and a warm tone” — The Daily Telegraph

“The competent artist” — The Times
