He has attended masterclasses of some of the most eminent professors and accordion performers: Pavel Fenyuk and Vladimir Murza (Ukraine), Miljan Bjeletić (Serbia), Petar Ralchev (Bulgaria), Jovan Pavlović (Norway), Teodoro Anzelotti (Switzerland). He collaborated and played with some of them, and he also successfully played with great artists in other instruments. Two concerts in Hungary with trumpet player Marko Marković (Serbia), as well as performances with Petar Ralchev and some of well recognized accordionist and composers of traditional Serbian music (Bata Kanda, Ljubiša Pavković) were remarkable.

He is active member of association Live Music Now Yehudi Menuhin in Vienna.
Djordje Davidović plays on accordion built by Bugari, model "BAYAN SELECTA" which is custom crafted with a new construction system of the wooden box. The result is an extraordinary acoustic performance with powerful harmonics and deep sound. A very special and accurate work has been done to optimize the acoustical balance between the treble and bass side, inspired by the principle of the piano, imaginatively divided into 2 keyboards and positioned on the player’s chest an accordion.
