Maddox Marsollek (born December 2013) began taking piano lessons at the age of three. After only ten months of lessons, Maddox made his debut at a summer concert in the Castle church Altlandsberg and has so far played more than 40 concerts.

Maddox is taught by concert pianist and Echo Prize winner Elisaveta Blumina. In August 2019 she invited him as the youngest up-and-coming musician to an international master class in Israel, where he also played in the final concert in Elma Hall.

Since August 2019 Maddox has also received composition lessons. In the same month he composed his first piece. In the meantime he has composed more than 10 works, most recently a sonatina in 3 movements (for violin and piano) and a two-part invention. Currently working on a quartet for violin, viola, cello and piano.

He always won 1st (a total of 43 and two absolute prices) to 3rd prizes as well as various special prizes for an “Exceptional Young Talent”, “Excellent Interpretation” and the best interpretation of contemporary and baroque compositions. There are also four 1st prizes in national competitions.
