Dino Dragovic is a permanent member of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, where he has served since January 2018. He began playing the violin at the age of eight before discovering the viola at thirteen — drawn to its depth, warmth, and expressive range. This early decision shaped his artistic direction and established the instrument as his lifelong voice.

As a young musician, he won multiple national and international competitions, becoming one of the leading violists of his generation in Serbia. He studied with Thomas Riebl at the Mozarteum University Salzburg and Leo De Neve at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. His artistic development was further enriched through mentorship from Ulrich Knörzer (Berliner Philharmoniker) and Milan Radič (Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg).

A committed chamber musician, Dino has performed extensively throughout Europe and Asia, appearing in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, France, China, and Taiwan. His chamber music formation was shaped by distinguished musicians including Rainer Schmidt, Reinhard Goebel, Wolfgang Redik, Bujor Prelipcean, and Stefan Schilli.

From 2011 to 2014, he was a member of the Tiroler Festspiele Erl Orchestra, performing the complete operatic works of Richard Wagner under Maestro Gustav Kuhn — an experience that profoundly influenced his orchestral and stylistic depth. Following his successful audition for the Flanders Symphony Orchestra in 2015, he won a position with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra in 2017. Alongside his orchestral career, Dino is increasingly dedicated to teaching.

His pedagogical focus lies in natural posture, individual artistic development, and specialised preparation for orchestral auditions and excerpts.
