Vita

"Also strong:
the Hanoverian alto Mareike Zorko"
  • Mareike Zorko won 2nd Prize and the Audience Prize at cantateBach! Greifswald for her Bach and Mendelssohn interpretations, and performed at the Greifswald Bach Week. She is a scholarship holder of the Fritz Wunderlich Society and the Helene Rosenberg Foundation.

     

    The young singer focuses on the low mezzo-soprano and alto repertoire in opera, concert, and song, and is passionate about both Early and Contemporary music.

  • Her concert repertoire ranges from Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio to Mendelssohn’s Elias, Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle and Duruflé’s Requiem. She has performed at the Festival d’Orgue in Masevaux with L’Arpa Festante, in Copenhagen with the Leipzig Chamber Orchestra, and most recently with Capella Santa Croce in Bach’s Matthäuspassion and Mass in B minor.

    ​

    On the opera stage, she has appeared as Orpheus (Orfeo ed Euridice), Third Lady (The Magic Flute), Countess (Der Wildschütz), Peronella (Boccaccio), as well as the Sorceress and Spirit (Dido and Aeneas). Her chamber music partners include pianists Mariia Boichenko, Wan-Yen Li, Lucas Huber Sierra and Lucca Verdi Pires, and mandolinist Charlotte Kaiser.

    ​

    In recent years, Mareike has performed numerous world premieres, including collaborations with Robert Neumann, Enzo Caterino and Clemens K. Thomas.

    Mareike is a member of the artists’ association ensemble artists e. V.

    ​

    Mareike studied at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg with Prof. Mareike Morr, completing a Bachelor’s degree followed by a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance and Opera. As part of the Erasmus programme, she also spent a year studying Baroque singing at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence.

    From October 2026, she will continue her studies with the Konzertexamen postgraduate programme at Hochschule für Musik Dresden.

    She has received important artistic impulses from KS Dorothea Röschmann, Pauliina Tukiainen, Christian Halseband, Karlheinz Hanser and Sara Mingardo.
    As part of the Mentoring Programme, Mareike continues to be mentored by Wiebke Lehmkuhl.
