Vedran Smailović

Vedran Smailović (born 11 November 1956), known as the "''Cellist of Sarajevo''", is a Bosnian musician. During the siege of Sarajevo, he played Albinoni's ''Adagio in G Minor'' in ruined buildings, and, often under the threat of snipers, he played during funerals. His bravery inspired musical numbers and a novel. He moved to Northern Ireland and is a composer, conductor, and performer. His playing of the Albinoni Adagio was introduced in a book called "A Story Like the Wind". Provided by Wikipedia
