Anja Jagodić

accordion

Anja Jagodić is a Switzerland-based accordionist whose work spans classical and contemporary music, premieres and free improvisation.

Her path began in Subotica, Serbia, and led through studies in Skopje, Lausanne and Lucerne, where she trained as a classical accordionist before specialising in contemporary music and improvisation.
