BIOGRAPHY
Praised as a conductor of immense character, assuredness, energy and the precision power of her baton, Polish conductor Marzena Diakun has reached veteran status at a young age. Second Prize winner at two major international conducting competitions (Prague Spring Competition 2007 and Fitelberg Conducting Competition 2012), she focuses on orchestral and choral works by Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Rachmaninov, Scriabin and Shostakovich, as well as her country´s greatest composers - Penderecki, Lutoslawski, Karlowicz and Szymanowski. Sought after for her interpretations of the French and Bohemian masters, her performances are described as remarkably balanced, finely nuanced, and deeply felt, knowing how to dazzle with her mastery and the height of the gesture, and how to obtain from an orchestra density, expressiveness, and detail.
The 2024/25 season will see Diakun return to orchestras such as the Komische Oper Berlin, the Warsaw Philharmonic, and the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern and initiate new relationships with others including NDR-Sinfonieorchester Hannover, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
Marzena Diakun’s newest recording of Brahms’ works for choir and orchestra (Label IBS) with Orquesta y Coro Comunidad de Madrid, where she held the position Artistic Director and Principal Chief Conductor until the summer of 2024, has been greatly hailed by the press.
Her new relationship with Ensemble Intercontemporain is the culmination of two decades of premiering and performing new works by numerous Spanish, Dutch, Austrian and Polish composers. Her recording, Polish Heroines of Music (Label PWM) is an exemplary model of her savoir-faire and commitment.
As a teacher and a mentor at the Music Academy in Wroclaw, Marzena Diakun harnesses the inspiration and support she received from great conductors such as Kurt Masur, Pierre Boulez and Marin Alsop.
