Aleksandar Hadži-Đorđević made his debut in 1980 at the age of 16, performing Joaquín Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” with Zagreb Symphonists and conductor Uroš Lajovic at the Lisinski Concert Hall. In 1984 he won first place at International Guitar Competition in Kutná Hora, Czech Republic. He studied guitar at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague with prof. Štěpán Rak and prof. Martin Mysliveček graduated with distinction in 1987.

Aleksandar Hadži-Đorđević ‘s prolific and versatile career has been flowing equally successfully in two directions – as a guitar pedagogue and as a concert performer. Many of his pupils have won the highest prizes at guitar competitions - some of them became accomplished artists and professors of the guitar at universities in Europe and the USA. Aleksandar is frequently invited to participate in juries at Serbian and international guitar and chamber music competitions. He has been rewarded for his pedagogical work by The Association of Music and Ballet Schools of Serbia, and by the Assembly of the City of Belgrade.

He has built a prominent career as a solo artist, performing in Serbia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. He also performs as a chamber musician in a duo with his colleague prof. Srđan Tošić. His performances were praised by the critics for his “beautiful, colorful tone, musicality and intuition that is seldom heard” (Политика, February 2005). Aleksandar Hadži-Đorđević received his DMA degree at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade in June 2015. He is an assistant professor of Guitar at the Faculty of Music, University of Arts in Belgrade.
