Alexander Zonjic (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Зоњић; born April 30, 1951) is a Canadian flutist and recording artist who performs both light jazz and classical compositions.
He is the son of a Greek mother and a Serbian émigré father who left the war-torn Yugoslavia before Tito's communists took over. He was educated in Windsor where he graduated from University of Windsor in 1975 and continued studying with Ervin Monroe, a distinguished first flutist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Throughout the 1980s, continuing to live in Windsor with his wife, Lorraine, and son, Alex Jr., Zonjic performed regularly in Detroit-area clubs such as Baker's Keyboard Lounge, Alexanders, and Murdock's. [1] [2] He currently lives in Detroit, Michigan. [3]
