about

Elena Mendoza was born in Sevilla, Spain in 1973, whre she studied German linguistics. She then studied piano and composition in Zaragoza with Teresa Catalán, in Augsburg with John Van Buren, in Düsseldorf with Manfred Trojahn and in Berlin with Hanns Peter Kyburz at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. She is particularly interested in timbrical and dramaturgical questions and has particular preferences for theatrical concepts touching on language, space and music. From these emerged in 2007 the music-theater production Niebla (Europäisches Zentrum der Künste in Dresden Hellerau), written in close cooperation with the director Matthias Rebstock and setting new music-theatre standards. She has worked in collaboration with Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, ensemble recherche, Neue Vokalsolisten Stuttgart, Vogler-Quartett, Ensemble Mosaik, Ensemble emex, Ensemble Taller Sonoro, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Oper Nürnberg, Philharmonisches Orchester Freiburg and many others. Her music has been presented at several international festivals, such as Ars Musica (Brussels), Dresdner Tage der Zeitgenössischer Musik, Festival de Música Contemporánea de Camagüey (Cuba), Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, World New Music Festival, Eclat Stuttgart, MärzMusik Berlin or musicadhoy Madrid. She has won awards from the artist's residence Künstlerhof Schreyahn, the Ensemble Modern Academy, the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen, the Franz-Liszt Scolarship in Weimar and the Academ
