The Minneapolis-based flute and guitar duo of Linda Chatterton & Maja Radovanlija was formed in 2015. Their concert programs span 400 years but emphasize contemporary works by composers in the US and throughout the world. Recent international projects include concert tours of Thailand and China; a performance on the GuitarArt Festival in Montenegro; and the world premiere of Aaron Travers’ “Box Gardens” at the Havana International Contemporary Music Festival in Cuba. 

In the US, recent projects include a Midwest concert residency as winners of Chamber Music America’s Residency Partnership program, and concerts and master classes at Indiana University, the University of Minnesota, and on the Festival of New Music at Marshall University. 

Their newest concert program, “Music of the Americas,” features the premiere of a major new work written for them by Brazilian- American composer Clarice Assad, as winners of Chamber Music America’s Classical Commissioning program. Linda and Maja are also soloists, and Maja is a member of the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet; in these roles, both musicians have commissioned, recorded and premiered hundreds of new works.

Join the Student Composers Association for our first student recital of the school year featuring a variety of brand-new works by our UGA composers! This event takes place Friday, October 13th at 6PM in the Dancz Center for New Music (HHSOM rm. 264). Visit our social media, @ugacomposers, for more information. This event will be streamed on the Dancz Center for New Music YouTube page.

The Student Composers Association at the University of Georgia is home to more than forty composers, including graduate and undergraduate students. Writing for a diverse array of media, the composers at UGA create work ranging from symphonic to electronic music.  Students have access to cutting edge music technology and state of the art facilities in the Dancz Center for New Music.  All students participate in weekly private lessons from accomplished and experienced faculty, as well as a seminar for the discussion of pertinent and controversial issues in the field.  The association promotes the performance of student works in SCA recitals and the annual Loop 10 project where student composers are challenged with themed interdisciplinary projects, often bringing them into collaborations with creatives in non-musical fields.
