Johanna Doderer

The Vienna-based composer Johanna Doderer was born in Bregenz in 1969 and studied with Beat Furrer in Graz and then composition and music theory with Erich Urbanner and film and media composition with Klaus Peter Sattler in Vienna.

The focus of her work lies on opera. Besides many works for chamber music, she has also written several works for orchestra. Her compositions are performed throughout the world.

After grappling with techniques of contemporary music for many years, she has found her own compositional language, which does not exclude tonality. Johanna Doderer´s music has become established in the great musical centres of the world next to the classical and contemporary repertoires and has long been loved and enthusiastically interpreted by internationally successful artists throughout the world. Hence, her co-operation and friendship with eminent interpreters, starting with Patricia Kopatchniskaja, to whom she dedicated her own violin concerto (ORF CD), Marlis Petersen (CD), Angelika Kirchschlager, Sylvia Khittl- Muhr, Yury Revich, Nikola Djoric up to Harriet Krijgh, form the core of her work. In 2014, Johanna Doderer was awarded the Ernst Krenek Prize oft he City of Vienna, the highest honour the City of Vienna can bestow in this category.

Josipa Bainac

Born in Croatia, young singer Josipa Bainac began her already well-respected career by winning several national Croatian singing competitions. After completing her singing studies and receiving the Mirjana Bohanec Prize at the Zagreb Academy of Music, she pursued master studies at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts Art under Charles Spencer-Smith and Claudia Visca.

During her studies in Vienna, and after graduation with honours in 2017, she received a variety of renowned awards and scholarships, including the ADA SARI Culture Prize (2017), the Marienkirchen Oratorio Prize (2016) in Husum, Germany and the Isolde Langowski Prize for Art Song (2015).

Further artistic imprint she received by Thomas Hampson, Christa Ludwig, Gertraud Berka-Schmid, Adrian Eröd, Wolfram Rieger, Artur Korn, Ulf Bästlein, Stephen Delaney, Astrea Amaduzzi, Mattia Peli, Benno Schollum, Gerhard and Annemarie Zeller and Helena Lazarska.

The high-level virtuosity of her voice, coupled with great flexibility and suppleness, brought her early into contact with contemporary music makers, and led to a year-long musical collaboration with the composers Johanna Doderer and Akos Banlaky, which has earned her a reputation as an outstanding interpreter of modern vocal art and a specialist in sophisticated world premieres.

Josipa is one of the winners of the 11. International Hilde Zadek Singing Competition 2019, that places particular emphasis on contemporary music. She was awarded multiple prizes during the finals held in Musikverein in Vienna. In October 2019 followed one special award – Gottlob Frick medal – given during an annual opera artists meeting in Ötisheim, Germany.

Solo engagements with famous orchestras and numerous recitals currently lead her through Europe, Asia and North America. In addition to art, Josipa is also engaged in scientific work, as a university assistant for voice research at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg.
