dimir Mustajbašiæ, BOJAN ADAMIÈ V BEOGRADU
Bojan Adamiè in Belgrade
Summary
Bojan Adamiè spent an important part of his life in Belgrade, although this productive
period, mainly spanning the years from the 1960s to the 1970s, remains relatively
unknown to a wider audience, as it is mainly connected with military ensembles. As
records of their activity are kept in the Yugoslavian military archives, they are difficult to
access. The article reveals numerous details collected either from the archives or taken
from the author's experiences with the Belgrade music scene of the time, when Bojan
Adamiè was at his most active. He was a member and the vice president of the
administrative committee of the Composers Association of Yugoslavia, a member of the
jury, conductor and arranger for the Youth Festival in Subotica, a film music composer for
the film production of Serbian directors, guest conductor of the revue orchestra and of the
Mixed Choir of the Artistic Ensemble of the Yugoslav People's Army, as well as a
composer and an arranger for the military, revue, wind and entertainment orchestras. The
article delivers detailed data on archive recordings of Adamiè's own compositions, those
on which he collaborated as a conductor and that are kept in the archives of Belgrade
Radio. Adamiè collaborated most often with the Guard Orchestra and the Artistic
Ensemble of the Yugoslav People's Army, and, as a conductor, with the Jazz Orchestra of
Belgrade Radio and Television. Even today, his musical style, his approach to working
with ensembles and his all-round talent are considered to have positively encouraged
numerous musicians from the Belgrade area.2
