Eva Zöllner
Eva Zöllner studied accordion at the HfMT Köln and at the Königlich Dänisches Konservatorium in Copenhagen. She is one of the most active accordionists of her generation and is passionately dedicated to contemporary music. As an internationally sought-after artist, she presents projects ranging from experimental solo performances to collaborations with renowned ensembles (musikFabrik, HR-Sinfonieorchester, Ensemble Modern, NDR-Elbphilharmonieorchester, Royal Opera House Covent Garden and others.a.). She is a regular guest at festivals for new music (IMD Darmstadt, Gaudeamus, Achtbrücken, Biennale di Venezia, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and others.a.).
In 2019, she performed as a soloist in the major project Anders Hören by Marina Abramovic at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. Concert tours have taken her to all continents; she is regularly supported by the Goethe-Institut. Collaboration with composers all over the world is an important aspect of her work. She also works with improvised music in various constellations and is particularly interested in interdisciplinary projects.
Her most recent appearance in this context was in June 2023 in the multimedia production slanted silhouettes in Ghana with West African dancers. In 2023, her solo CD voces, señales with contemporary music from Colombia, recorded with Deutschlandfunk, was released on the GENUIN classics label.
Eva Zöllner lives in the Westerwald and often travels to explore her instrument in a wide variety of contexts and cultures.
