Being an accordionist, it brings Sanja a special kind of joy to try out the ideas, that were previously deemed impossible.

Since 2017 she is the founding member of Trio Tempestoso.

 

Sanja has performed in concert houses such as Philharmonie Berlin, Elbphilharmonie, Berliner Konzerthaus, Musikverein Graz, Slovenian Philharmonic,... and played on festivals throught Europe: Unerhörte Musik in Germany, the slovenian Festival Ljubljana, Du Vert á L'Infini in France…
