ZEMLA, Agata

Agata Zemla is a composer, performer, and sound artist whose work blends contemporary and electroacoustic music with scientific research. In 2024, she graduated with distinction in composition from the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław, where she studied under Professor PhD Cezary Duchnowski, and completed her bachelor’s degree in music theory under PhD Aleksandra Pijarowska. Between 2013 and 2016, she also studied biology at the University of Wrocław, a background that significantly informs her compositional approach. In 2024, the National Museum in Warsaw released the vinyl Naturacea, featuring her commissioned work What Field Whispers, created for an exhibition dedicated to Józef Chełmoński. In 2025, her piece To Bee or Not to Bee? for flute, clarinet, viola, cello, and electronics will be performed at the World Music Days in Porto, having been selected by both national and international juries. That same year, she received an artistic grant from the City of Wrocław, composing a new work for NeoQuartet. She is currently studying acousmatic composition in Vienna under the mentorship of Annette Vande Gorne.
