"Oboist Sanja Romić is musically very profound and has beautiful tone which transcends the whole orchestra and inspires her colleagues"

Zubin Mehta

About

More than just oboe playing

Sanja is a vibrant performer, educator, music coach, and content creator who transforms life experiences into compelling musical narratives.

 

Known for her stunning tone and seductive musicality, her artistry has been widely praised by audiences and legendary figures alike. As Zubin Mehta noted: “Sanja’s musical depth and lovely tone inspire her colleagues and transcend the entire orchestra.” At his invitation, she performed as guest principal oboe on the Maestro’s final three summer tours with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

A dedicated champion of contemporary repertoire, Sanja’s landmark collaboration with composer Nimrod Borenstein resulted in the oboe concerto Légende. Commissioned by Sanja and supported by Buffet Crampon, the work was released in March 2026 by SOMM Recordings and the English Chamber Orchestra.

 

As a soloist, her recent engagements include performances of the Vaughan Williams, Mozart, Hidas, and Cimarosa concertos with the Belgrade Philharmonic, Macedonian Philharmonic, Vojvodina Symphony, and the Al Bustan Festival in Beirut.

Više nego samo oboistkinja, Sanja je svestrana umetnica, pedagog i kreator različitih projekata u koje unosi svoje životno iskustvo i inspiraciju u formi muzičkih priča. Njene nastupe karakterišu divan ton, harizma na sceni i senzualna muzikalnost. 

„Sanja poseduje duboku muzikalnost i predivan ton koji se izdvaja nad orkestrom, inspirišući njene kolege“, rekao je legendarni dirigent Zubin Mehta. Na njegov poziv, 2019. godine, učestvovala je kao solo oboistkinja sa Izraelskom filharmonijom na maestrove tri oproštajne turneje po Južnoj Americi, Litvaniji i Evropi.

Mentorship & Academic Leadership

 

Since 2024, Sanja has held the Oboe class as an Associate Professor at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, Serbia, where she also teaches Orchestral Studies. Her commitment to the next generation of musicians extends to her role as a mentor and coach for prestigious international youth orchestras, including the Pan-Caucasian Youth Orchestra (PCYO) at the Tsinandali Festival in Georgia, the FAME’S European Orchestral Performing Institute, the West Balkan Youth Orchestra (WBYO), and the Orchestra Academy of the Belgrade Philharmonic.

 

 

Orchestral & Chamber Music

 

From 2011 to 2024, Sanja served as the Principal Oboist of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. Her orchestral journey includes global tours across the USA, Europe, and China, performing with the Israel Philharmonic, Salzburg Chamber Soloists, and Kremerata Baltica. She also participated in the No Borders Orchestra project, which resulted in a recording released by Deutsche Grammophon. As a passionate chamber musician, she co-founded the NS Chamber Ensemble and frequently collaborates with artists such as pianist Danijel Detoni on the project Romances & Identity, guitarist Zoran Anić, and the Ventus Quintet Salzburg.

 

 
Innovation & Holistic Coaching

 

Interested in movement and body mechanics, Sanja advocates for a holistic approach to performance that emphasizes the synergy between body and mind. This philosophy is the foundation of her teaching concept and podcast, Playing & Living with Ease, which promotes musicians' health and technical freedom. Her creative drive has led to several successful platforms, including Oboe Fest in Belgrade, which she led as Artistic Director until 2024, her online masterclass Back to Basics, and Music Stories, a platform for bespoke musical experiences.

 

 

Education & Background

 

A Buffet Crampon Paris Artist playing the Légende model, Sanja graduated with honors from the Liszt Ferenc Academy in Budapest and the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. Her discography, including her debut CD Melodies of Nations (2017) and neoclassical singles on Yellow Rose Records, reflects her belief in music as a universal language.

 

Born in Serbia with dual Serbian and Slovenian citizenship, Sanja recharges in nature and finds artistic balance through Argentine tango.

She views music as the "wheel of life", an art form that connects the inner and outer worlds.

Sanja je zvanični umetnik firme Buffet Crampon iz Pariza i svira obou model Légende.

 

2024. godine je okupila tri zemlje, njihove kompanije i umetnike. Uz podršku firme Bife Krampon iz Pariza je naručila i izvela svetsku premijeru novog koncerta za obou, ”Legenda”, kompozitora Nimroda Borenštajna. Premijeru koncerta je posvetila proslavi 100- godišnjice postojanja Beogradske filharmonije. 

Koncert je snimila 2025. godine za prestižnu izdavačku kuću SOMM Recordings uz pratnju Engleskog kamernog orkestra- English Chamber Orchestra, pod palicom Nimroda Boreštajna.

 

Aktivno nastupa kao solistkinja. Angažmani uključuju svetska premijera koncerta Legenda Nimroda Borenštajna sa Beogardskom filharmonijom i maestrom Hosein Piškarom, Friđeš Hidaš koncert za obou sa Vojvođanskim simfonijskim orkestrom i maestrom Srboljubom Dinićem, Gala otvaranje festivala Al Bustan u Bejrutu sa dirigentom Đanlukom Marćano, Mocart koncert za obou sa Makedonskom filharmonijom i maestrom Mihalom Nesterovicem, Von Vilijamsov koncert sa Beogradskom filharmonijom i maestrom Hauardom Grifitsom, saradnja sa Salcburškom kamernom filharmonijom, Ansamblom Metamorphosis, Zagrebačkim solistima…

 

Ideju univerzalnosti muzičkog jezika, koja ujedinjuje ljude kroz različite kulture, 2017. godine je prikazala u projektu Muzička razglednica i ovekovečila na kompakt disku Melodije nacija, u saradnji sa irskom pijanistkinjom Finulom Mojnihan. CD je izdat od strane londonske kuće „Hedone Records“ i srpske „Metropolis Music“. U 2021. godini je, u saradnji sa hrvatskom pijanistkinjom Antonijom Paček, izdala dva singla za australsku kuću „Yellow Rose Records“. U okviru „No Borders“ orkestra, takođe su izdali CD za „Deutsche Grammophon“. 

 

Rado istražuje novu muziku za obou, a dela su joj posvetili Nimrod Borenštajn (UK), Airat Ichmouratov (RU-CAD), Svetozar Saša Kovačević (SRB), Miloš Raičković (SRB- SAD).

 

Posvećena kamernom muziciranju, Sanja aktivno sarađuje sa Novosadskim Kamernim Ansamblom, koji je sačinjen od najistaknutijih domaćih solista, i koncertira u različitim instrumentalnim formacijama. U 2025. godini priprema novi projekat a hrvatskim pijanistom Danijelom Detonijem, Romanse i Identitet.  Pored saradnje sa srpskim gitaristom Zoranom Anićem u okviru RomAn dua, sarađivala je i sa harfistkinjom Milanom Zarić, duvačkim kvintetom Quintologia iz Slovenije, kvintetom Ventus iz Salcburga..

Njen prvi onlajn kurs „Povratak osnovama“ objavljen je 2023. godine na srpskom jeziku i 2024. na engleskom jeziku. Aktivno istražuje pokret, mehaniku tela, mentalnu pripremu i psihološke aspekte sviranja, koje predaje u okviru svog mentorsko-koučing koncepta „Svirati i živeti sa lakoćom“. Istoimeni podkast na engleskom jeziku pokrenula je 2023. godine, kreirajući koristan sadržaj kao podršku na profesionalnom putu mladim muzičarima.

 

Između 2011- 2024 godine je delovala kao solo oboistkinja Beogradske filharmonije, a pre toga je držala istu poziciju u orkestru SNG Opere i baleta u Ljubljani, u Sloveniji. 

 

U ulozi orkestarskog muzičara je nastupala po Americi, Evropi i Kini, sarađujući sa brojnim prestižnim orkestrima, kao što su Izraelska filharmonija, Salcburški kamerni solisti, orkestar Kremerata Baltica, Praški kamerni orkestar, RTV orkestar Ljubljana, Slovenačka filharmonija, Erdödy kamerni orkestar iz Mađarske…

Štefana Šilija, nakon čega je osvojila poziciju solo oboe Opere i Baleta Ljubljana. 

 

Potrebu za kreativnim izražavanjem realizuje u okviru brojnih projekata koje je realizovala. 2016. godine je pokrenula Kamp zdravlja muzičara, koji je vremenom prerasato u mentorski i koučing konpcet, Svirati sa lakoćom. Oboa fest je inicirala 2018. godine, osnovala i zajedno sa kolegama vodila od 2018- 2023. godine. 2020. godine je pokrenula edukativni koncept Muzičke priče, koji je prerastao u privatne salonske koncerte.

 

Studije u klasi prof. Petera Pongraca na budimpeštanskoj akademiji „Liszt Ferenc “ je završila sa počastima kao stipendista organizacije “Šoroš”.
