Miriam Dorner was born in Dornbirn, Austria, in 2003. At the age of four she received her first cello lessons from Sarolta Bobok at the Bregenzerwald music school. From 2014 she continued her training with Imke Frank at the Vorarlberg State Conservatory. From 2017 to 2023 she studied in Rebecca Firth’s cello class at the MKZ in Zurich, before beginning her studies with Matthias Bartolomey at the Mozarteum Salzburg in October 2023.
Miriam has repeatedly won first prizes and awards at the regional and national “Prima la Musica” competitions. In 2020 she also received a special prize for her “soulful, finely shaped music-making”. In March 2021 she was admitted as a scholarship holder to the International Music Academy in Liechtenstein, where she studied with Kian Soltani. She has gained further valuable impulses in masterclasses with Patrick Demenga, Thomas Grossenbacher and other renowned musicians.
Since 2018 Miriam has been a member of the piano trio “The Silver Trio” – together with her sister Cäcilia Dorner on violin and the pianist Stefan Man from Davos. In September 2020 the ensemble released its debut album on the Coviello Classics label, with early works by Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and Bernstein.
