Full Biography
Zita Nauratyill, already a much sought-after musician of her generation, whose repertoire ranges from the beginnings of keyboard music through the Romantic period, which she plays frequently, to the works of contemporary composers, began her piano and organ studies with Imre Hargitai, Gábor Eckhardt, Zsuzsa Elekes, László Fassang and János Pálúr at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music.
She studied organ concerto with Martin Haselböck at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and piano concerto with Otto Probst at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien. She completed both studies with unanimous distinction. She received further musical impulses from Olivier Latry and Michel Bouvard at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris as well as at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig with Martin Schmeding, with whom she has also been studying in the master class since October 2020.
Furthermore, she has gained new musical impulses at master classes with renowned artists.
As an organist, pianist and chamber musician, she performs at home and abroad with appearances in most European countries, as well as in Lebanon. In Austria she has performed in many important churches as well as in the Brucknerhaus Linz, the ORF Radiokulturhaus and the Vienna Konzerthaus. The latter concerts have also been recorded and broadcast by the radio station Ö1.
She has also won prizes in several national and international competitions. For example, she was a finalist at the International Organ Competition in St. Albans (United Kingdom), where she was awarded the special prize for the best interpretation of the commissioned work "Volcano" by Paul Patterson, as well as the audience prize. In 2017 she was the winner and laureate of five special prizes at the X Mikael Tariverdiev International Organ Competition in Kaliningrad (Russia). Since the winter semester of 2021, she has held a lectureship in organ literature at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
