Additional Info:

Pavao Masic, winner of The Grand Prix Bach and Audience Prize at 2006 Bach Organ Competition in Lausanne actively pursues successful career of a concert organist and harpsichordist. Different aspects of his art include extensive interest in Baroque and Romantic music repertoire - especially music of J. S. Bach and French composers – which, combined with in-depth exploration and constant need for expression, result in rich, virtuosic and much admired performances.
Since 1999, Pavao Masic has been the Main Organist at St Mark's Church in Zagreb, place of special historic importance with continuing tradition of organ playing thoroughly documented since 1359. More than 15 awards, both national and international, demonstrate the quality of his artistic work.
Upon graduation from Zagreb Academy of Music in organ, harpsichord and music theory, he pursued further organ studies at Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne in the class of Kei Koito. He also studied harpsichord and historical keyboard instruments in the class of Dr. Robert Hill, graduating from the Musikhochschule in Freiburg im Breisgau. He received additional artistic impulses from several important musicians including harpsichordists Pierre Hantai, Christophe Rousset & Skip Sempé, as well as organists Daniel Roth, Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, Christoph Bossert, Ton Koopman and Bine Katherine Bryndorf.
He appears in recitals and with orchestra, both as harpsichordist and organist, performing at important concert venues throughout Europe and Russia (Moscow, Sankt Petersburg, Basel, Lausanne, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Freiburg, Zaragoza, Porto). He is equally in demand as pedagogue and since 2008 he is professor at Zagreb Academy of Music where he teaches new generations of organists and harpsichordists.
