Marta Malgorzata Dettlaff
European Orchestra Academy members violin
“The best way I can create a beautiful sound and atmosphere is when I’m playing with others—whether in an orchestra or chamber music. I love being part of a group that shares a deep love for music.”
Marta Dettlaff (b. 2001, Gdańsk, Poland) began playing the violin at the age of four in the Suzuki class of Anna Podhajska. She completed her master’s degree in 2025 at the Grażyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz Academy of Music in Łódź under Łukasz Błaszczyk and studied as an Erasmus student at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin with Jiyoon Lee. Since October 2025, she has been a member of the European Orchestra Academy.
In January 2026, she was awarded First Prize at the Sándor Végh Competition in Budapest. She is also a prizewinner of numerous international competitions, including the Wanda Wiłkomirska Polish Music Competition (Grand Prix, 2020), the OPUS Competition (First Prize, 2022), and the “Talents for Europe” International Competition (Grand Prix, 2019) with her sister Wiktoria. These distinctions have led to performances as a soloist with orchestras such as the Kielce Philharmonic and the Slovak Sinfonietta.
Marta has also performed with leading ensembles including the Budapest Festival Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the European Union Youth Orchestra, where she served as Second Violin Leader in 2024. In 2025, she joined the Verbier Festival Orchestra and was selected for the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra.
Her orchestral experience includes collaborations with renowned conductors such as Iván Fischer, Klaus Mäkelä, Paavo Järvi, Teodor Currentzis, Manfred Honeck, Gianandrea Noseda, and Antonio Pappano, performing at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Concertgebouw, Musikverein, Konzerthaus Berlin, and Elbphilharmonie.
