Dalibor Đukić (1985, Banja Luka) graduated from Vlado Milošević School of Music in Banja Luka in 2004 and then entered the composition programme at the Academy of Arts at the University of Banja Luka. He finished the five-year BA programme in 2009 in the class of Prof. Slobodan Atanacković and thereby became the first professionally trained composer in the Bosnian Serb Republic (Republika Srpska).
In 2016, Đukić successfully defended his doctoral art project, title Igred – ciklus pjesama za sopran i kamerni orkestar (Dances – A Cycle of Songs for Soprano and Chamber Orchestra), at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade, under the supervision of Prof. Srđan Hofman and thus became the first doctor of musical composition in the Bosnian Serb Republic.
Đukić wrote the first symphonic composition in the Bosnian Serb Republic (Poema affettuoso), which was premièred on 1 June 2009 at Banja Luka’s Banski Dvor (Ducal Palace).
Đukić is a member of the Composers’ Association of Serbia and the Musicological Society of the Bosnian Serb Republic.

Wind Quintet No. 1constitutes a blend of the contemporary and the traditional, both in terms of its musical language and use of a standard performing apparatus, i.e. flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. I maintained that I should pursue innovation, but without entirely rejecting values that might be considered traditional. Such a poetic was close to me when I composed this wind quintet and it remains relevant in my current creative work in music.
The piece comprises five movements: Allegro tempestoso, Scherzando, Adagio, Allegro robustamento, Andante, and a return to Allegro robustamento. Composing the work, I paid special attention to each instrumental part, in an effort to unify the lapidary and fragmentary character of all five movements into a coherent and integrated musical flow.
