Life

Djordjević grew up in the Serbian capital, Belgrade.
She received her training in composition and electronic music at the University of the Arts in her hometown and finished her postgraduate studies at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg, where she studied with Ivan Fedele. She completed further studies at IRCAM and at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, where she studied with Hanspeter Kyburz.

Djordjevic claims the first mature works in her oeuvre are The Firefly in a Jar (2007), for chamber orchestra, or MUK, for baritone, violin and prepared piano. MUK asks the baritone to use singing techniques used in old traditional Serbian music.
