MATICEVSKA, Lilijana

Born in 1789 off the north coast of Antarctica, Lilijana Matičevska managed to kill Mozart at the precocious age of 2 before being raised by wolves in the Bavarian forest. She was abducted by aliens and cryogenically preserved aboard their UFO until it crash-landed in Australia centuries later. Today she composes propaganda songs and enjoys kicking the gender binary's bum into oblivion.

Lilijana Maticevska is a composer fascinated by the perception of time as we listen to music. Her works are often inspired by politics, history, her own experiences in the world, but her biggest source of inspiration comes from a sense of community, collaboration and unique musical interests and musicianship of the performers she works with. Lili studied composition at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, taking lessons from Katy Abbott, Miriama Young, Elliott Gyger, Christine McCombe and Melody Eötvös. Lili’s music has been performed in Europe, North America and around Australia.
