Adrián Demoč (1985, Slovakia) studied composition in Brno, Bucharest and Vilnius. His compositions have been performed by musicians and ensembles such as Klangforum Wien,  Apartment House, Manuel Zurria, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, Françoise Rivalland (FR), Milan Pala (SK), Ostravska banda or Plural ensemble (ES) etc. in festivals and venues in Europe, USA and Canada.
