Mateja Zenzerović was born in Pula (Croatia) in 1983. Her musical training began at the "Okud Istra" Music School in Pula under Prof. Damir Bužleta and Prof. Tatjana Lajić. From 2001 to 2012 she studied the accordion as well as music education under Professor Elsbeth Moser at Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover (HMTMH), i.e. University of Music, Drama and Media in Hanover. At that time she obtained an Erasmus scholarship and was for a semester in the Basque city of San Sebastián in the well-known "Musikene" music school under Professor Iñaki Alberdi. In May 2012, she concluded her studies with the Mitteldeutschen Chamber Orchestra under Christian Simonis.
She elicits from her instrument unusually warm and pleasant tones and links them with a clear musical statement and what particularly impresses is her especially delicate, balanced and interpretive borderline between the intention of the composer and her own understanding of the music and the work. Last but not least this is the reason to cooperate with a large number of composers like Juliane Klein, Hans Zender, Senezana Nesic, Sarah Nemtsov, Georg Katzer, Adriana Hölszky, Moritz Eggert, Gyorgy Kurtag and Markus Stockhausen. She was invited as a guest to festivals like "Mozart Woche" (Mozart's Week) in Salzburg, "Bruecken Festival" in Rostock or the "Tiroler Festspiele" where she performed under Fabio Luisi, Hans Zender and Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Today she is a professor of accordion and chamber music at ESMUC in Barcelona, Spain. |
