Maja Mijatović, Harpsichord

She studied harpsichord with Wolfgang Glüxam at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, as well as flute at the Music Academy in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Further studies with Augusta Campagne, Sally Sargent and Eugène Michelangeli completed her training.

The diverse repertoire of early music and the musical language of the contemporary avant-garde form the focal points of her artistic work. For her, this polarity represents an exciting source of such diverse, contrasting yet also related forms of expression. This has led to lively collaboration with contemporary composers such as Christian Diendorfer, Hannes Dufek, Karlheinz Essl, Margareta Ferek-Petrić, Tamara Friebel, Peter Jakober, Manuela Kerer, Sylvie Lacroix, Rafael Nassif and Šimon Voseček.

As a soloist and chamber musician, she performs in the fields of contemporary and early music. She is a co-founder of the ensemble Klingekunst – www.klingekunst.at

Collaboration with the ensembles Wiener Collage, Phace, OENM, Die Reihe and Platypus. Participation in festivals for early and contemporary music: Warsaw Autumn, Wien Modern, Museum Essl/Schömer-Haus, Festival Prix Annelie de Man 2015 and 2018.
