Zacharias Wolfe is a composer, producer, artist and performer.
Common threads in both his instrumental, electronic and collaborative work is a focus on thresholds and closeness, both in methods of composing and material. Thresholds between microtonal and tonal music, between listener and player, between individual and collective and between familiarity and strangeness. He is especially interested in exploring how we relate to each other through various levels of audience involvement in concerts, subverting pieces and styles within a shared musical heritage and by extension exploring questions around memory, nostalgia and deja vu. Closely related to his interest in the interpersonal lies an interest in the organisation of spaces for people to come together. This led him to found the music festival and residency programme Hjorted Art And Music in 2023. At the heart of this organisation lies the desire to build connections between people and arts disciplines. His music has appeared all over Europe in notable venues such as Royal Academy of Art in London (UK), Villa Carlotta in Como (Italy), Dartington Music Festival (UK), Mixtur Festival in Barcelona (Spain) and Kalv Contemporary Music Festival (Sweden). He as worked with ensembles such as Apartment house, Quatuor Bozzini and KammarensembleN and with world leading brands such as Gucci, Moncler and Hypebeast. He regularly works with music for dance, film and other media and collaborative work is something that lies close to his heart. Zacharias completed his Bachelor with Honours in composition and oboe under Haris Kittos and Olivier Stankiewicz at The Royal College of Music in London where he graduated with distinction. In 2024 he graduated with a masters in composition from The Royal College of Music in Stockholm where he studied with Per Mårtensson. |
