Petrushka or Daft Punk, Prince or Ravel: the swiss-georgian composer and performer Alexandre Kordzaia aka kordz finds his inspiration wherever music happens.  

The breadth of his musical forms of expression is already laid out in his education: first he studied audio design in Basel with Volker Böhm. There he composed electroacoustic music and trained as a sound engineer. After graduation he moved to The Hague to the Royal Conservatory of Music, where he studied composition with Peter Adriaansz and Yannis Kyrikiades.

In Georgia kordz is known for his danceable live sets and his exciting collaborations with the country's renowned orchestras, such as the Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra, Zagareli & Strings and the rapper DRO. He is also in great demand with European orchestras and ensembles such as the Asko Schönberg Ensemble, Kluster5 Ensemble, the Nieuw Ensemble, the Junge Norddeutsche Philharmonie, the Residentie Orchestra the Hague and the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra.

Among the special highlights of the 20/21 season is his composition for Club Guy & Roni together with the Slagwerk Den Haag Ensemble for an "online and offline" new interpretation of the "Swan Lake" Ballet. At the invitation of Martijn Padding, kordz premiered his first Cello Concertino for the International Cello Biennale in Amsterdam with solo cellist Lidy Blijdorp and the Asko Schönberg Ensemble.
