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 Leipziger Kammerorchester, and with Capella Santa Croce in Bach’s St Matthew Passion.

     

    On the opera stage, she has appeared as the Third Lady (The Magic Flute), Countess (Der Wildschütz), Peronella (Boccaccio), and as Sorceress and Spirit (Dido and Aeneas). In spring 2026, she will make her debut as Orpheus (Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice). Her regular chamber music partners include pianists Mariia Boichenko, Wan-Yen Li, Harald Ramm Haugland, and mandolinist Charlotte Kaiser.

     

    In recent years, Mareike has performed numerous contemporary works, collaborating with composers such as Robert Neumann, Enzo Caterino, and Clemens K. Thomas. She looks forward especially to the premiere of De Profundis for alto solo and string orchestra, composed for her, in autumn 2026.

     

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

     

    Trained by Axel Heil in Hanover, she is pursuing her Master’s degree in Opera and Concert Singing in Freiburg with Mareike Morr. As part of the Erasmus program, she studied Baroque singing at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence. She has also received guidance from KS Dorothea Röschmann, Pauliina Tukiainen, Christian Halseband, Karlheinz Hanser, and Sara Mingardo.

    During the 2025/26 season, Mareike will be mentored by Wiebke Lehmkuhl.

“In the narrator’s part, the alto Mareike Zorko, singing and shaping with radiant clarity, drew attention as a powerful protagonist of this event.”
