Marjana Jocif conducting

Marjana Jocif is a Slovenian recorder player who specializes in early music and contemporary repertoire for the recorder. Influenced by her uncle, a versatile multi-instrumentalist who mostly plays medieval music, she discovered her love for music from the medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras, which shaped her musical interests already in her early years.
Marjana first obtained her master’s degree at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana, Slovenia, before completing a second master’s degree at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. She is currently in her second year of an artistic doctoral program of Early Music at the USC Thornton School of Music.
She performs and collaborates with various ensembles at festivals in Slovenia and abroad, including the Musica Nova festival in Helsinki, the Baroque Music Philharmonic festival in Slovenia, the Barokki Kuopio festival in Finland, the Ljubljana festival, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra’s ‘Encounters Club’, the .abeceda contemporary music festival, the Imago Sloveniae festival, and the Flores Musicae festival at Kromberk Castle.
