Linda Chatterton and Maja Radovanlija Duo
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 at 
Indiana University, Marshall University, University of Georgia, Furman 
University and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. Their newest 
concert program, “Música de las Américas,” 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 and a new work by Chilean-Colombian composer and guitarist 
Javier Contreras. Linda and Maja are also soloists, and Maja is a member 
of the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet and instructor of guitar at the 
University of Minnesota; in these roles, both musicians have 
commissioned, recorded and premiered hundreds of new works.

Linda Chatterton
“The kind of performance that sparks wild standing ovations. Definitive” 
says the American Record Guide of flutist Linda Chatterton. Ms. 
Chatterton has performed in New York at Carnegie and Alice Tully halls, 
was a featured recitalist on the prestigious Dame Myra Hess series in 
Chicago, and has been heard throughout the US many times on National 
Public Radio’s Performance Today.  A Minneapolis-based artist, Ms. 
Chatterton has performed with numerous groups including the Minnesota 
Orchestra, and she tours regularly as a duo performer with harp, guitar 
and piano. As a concerto soloist, highlights include many performances 
of traditional and contemporary repertoire in the US and Europe. She has 
served as a US State Department Arts Ambassador overseas.

  Ms. Chatterton has commissioned, recorded and premiered dozens of new 
works, including music by Edie Hill, Lu Pei, Abbie Betinis, Jocelyn 
Hagen, David Kechley, Wendy Wan-Ki Lee, Aaron Travers, Takuma Itoh, 
Brian Ciach and Roberto Sierra. She recently gave the world premiere of 
Chen Yi’s “Southern Scenes” flute and pipa concerto with the Hawai’i 
Symphony Orchestra, conductor JoAnn Falletta and pipa player Gao Hong; 
in May 2019 she gave the world premiere of Cuban composer Leo Brouwer’s 
“Balada del Bosque y el Ave” for flute and guitar quartet, with the
