I am a professional flutist based in Vienna and I enjoy conveying my love of music through different genres, styles, and woodwind instruments from all over the world.<\/p>\r\n

It is a joy to introduce traditional half-forgotten instruments on an international stage and to inspire and bring new knowledge to my audience.<\/p>\r\n

Currently touring with Hans Zimmer Live - The Next Level<\/b><\/a> Europe Tour 2025\/2026 season.<\/p>\r\n

I have a passion for recording, bringing a new energy to numerous film scores and soundtracks (Netflix, Disney+, Sony, and BBC) both as a solo and orchestral musician.<\/p>\r\n

Since 2021 I became a Trevor James<\/b><\/a> alto and bass flute artist.<\/p>\r\n

Few years ago I built my home studio where I work as a remote session musician and teach my students.<\/p>\r\n

I was born in 1990 in Bratislava (Slovakia). Since I remember there was always music at our home. We sang and were listening to all different genres of music - from Dubliners through Deep Purple to peruvian and african music. I started to play my first instrument, which was an irish tin whistle, at the age of seven. I played by ear with my father in different bands and groups. <\/p> \r\n

At the age of thirteen I attended a music school to learn the flute and to read sheet music.That introduced me to the world of classical music and I went to study at the conservatory of music in Bratislava with an amazing flute teacher: Mgr. Marta Braunsteinerova. <\/p> \r\n

Afterwards I continued my studies at the university of music and performing arts in Vienna with great professors such as Hansgeorg Schmeiser, Robert Wolf, Rudolf Gindlhumer and Birgit Ramsl, where I got a deeper understanding of classical music and all necessary techniques required to play the flute at the highest possible level. I finished my studies in 2018.<\/p> \r\n

In the last few years I rediscovered my love for all different genres of music and world woodwind instruments through the fujara, shakuhachi, dizi, ney, bansuri or duduk just to name a few. <\/p> \r\n

I\u2019ve had the opportunity to perform as an ethnic woodwind soloist with many renowned orchestras and ensembles, including the Janoska Ensemble, Tonk\u00fcnstler Orchester Nieder\u00f6sterreich, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen, Duisburger Philharmoniker, Beethoven Academy Orchestra, Sinfonietta Cracovia, Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, and Metropole Orkest, showcasing a wide range of traditional flutes from around the world. Most recently, I\u2019ve joined the Hans Zimmer Live - The Next Level<\/b> Europe Tour 2025\/2026 season, further expanding my presence on the international stage.<\/p> \r\n

From my home studio I record music with all of my diferent ethnic woodwinds and flutes for many projects as for example: Frozen Planet II, Call of Duty, Diablo, Dragonkeeper, japanese anime and many more. <\/p> \r\n

I regularly record soundtracks for movies and series such as Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, Over the moon, His dark materials, Wanda Vision, Harry Potter and many more at the Synchronstage Vienna.<\/p> \r\n

In April 2022 I got invited to record my solo ethnic woodwinds for the composer Walter Mair to AIR Studios (Lyndhurst Hall) in London. <\/p>\r\n

I was lucky to be able to play many concerts as a first solo flute on tours with maestro Ennio Morricone in the biggest stadiums in Europe.<\/p>\r\n

It is a pleasure to live in Vienna, with its rich culture and history, and regularly perform in orchestras such as the Volksoper Wien or Vienna Chamber Orchestra to name but a few. During my studies I became a member of the summer academy of the Vienna Philharmonic and played at the Salzburger Festspiele.<\/p> \r\n

I also have a passion for contemporary and minimal music. As a member of Cluster Ensemble I played a on their debut album \"CLUSTER ENSEMBLE PLAYS PHILIP GLASS\" (2016) and Philip Glass himself released it on his own label OMM - Orange mountain music - followed by a tour with this ensemble to New York. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
