Born in Zagreb, Klobučar studied at the Zagreb Academy of Music and later in Salzburg and Paris, where he studied composition with André Jolivet. His older brother Berislav Klobučar became successful conductor. Anđelko became titular organist of the Zagreb Cathedral in 1958 and played until 2004. From 1987 he shared this position with Hvalimira Bledšnajder. He worked as the organ professor at the Zagreb Academy of Music for only two years, 1972 and 1973.
