Pianist and composer Matic Romih is releasing a debut album entitled Horizon that he describes as: „The horizon is the meeting point of the earth's surface and the universe, binding the two into one reality. It is the crossroads, where the infinite universe and endless imagination collide with the physical world and its sense of time, thus creating a sensible form and refined music (all at once).“ Although his works reflect many different musical genres, he is most dedicated to choral music. He is an active participant, composer and accompanist in various male, mixed, children’s and youth choirs. His oeuvre encompasses everything from solo and ensemble pieces, children’s musicals (Dorimu) and chamber operettas (Gaja), to orchestral music, such as “Black Hole”, premiered in 2019 by the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, which can also be found on the album Horizon.

About Matic Romih

Matic Romih (1996) has enjoyed music from his eary years. Very soon he embarked on a journey that first started with simple piano lessons at a local music school in Šentjur, after which he decided to further explore the world to explore the world of music even further. He therefore continued his education at the music department of the First Grammar School in Celje under the watchful eye of Jelena Dukič Segečić. He graduated in 2015 and went to study composition at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana, where he intends to complete his master’s degree under the professor Vito Žuraj. During this time, he took part in many competitions with various ensembles, such as chamber ensembles, choirs and solfeggio, as well as composition competitions. He was presented with the award for the most prominent young composer of Aegis Carminis 2019 and the award for the best young composer of choral music APZ Maribor 2019. By taking part in various seminars, workshops and composition masterclasses, led by composers, such as Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf, Johannes Kalitzke, Annesley Black, Márton Illés and Ulrich Kreppein, he improved his composition skills even further. In the summer of 2019, he was one of the few young artists chosen to participate in the seminar “Klagenzeitort: Komposition-Intenzivwocke” in Gutshof Sauen, Germany, where he was given the chance to work with composers such as Iris ter Schiphorst, Carola Bauckholt, Caspar Johannes Walter, Manos Tsangaris and Daniel Ott. Since 2016 he has been an active participant of the New Music Seminar “Next Generation Workshop” in Donaueschingen, Germany, and in the season 2019/20 he was a part of a programme “Classwork project” carried out in cooperation with the ensemble Recherche in Freiburg.
