This article is an extract from my ongoing investigation of the destinies of Serbian
composers who have emigrated since the early 1990s, a period that was marked by the
dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the ensuing wars when
hundreds of thousands of professionals left the country and settled all over the world.
Such a massive ‘brain drain’ has had a devastating impact on many professional
realms in the entire former-Yugoslav region. Thus far, I have located more than
seventy Serbian composers who currently live and work abroad, a significant number
for such a small country. In this article, I focus on the professional and personal
trajectories of several composers who have managed to establish successful careers in
various Western European countries. A recent monograph by Elena Dubinets, Russian
Composers Abroad: How They Left, Stayed, Returned (Bloomington: Indiana
University Press, 2021), serves as my discoursive ‘counterpoint’.
