The organist MARIO PERESTEGI was born in Zagreb in 1971. He graduated on the organ in the class of professor Andrija Galun and studied church music at the Institute for church music in Zagreb with professor An_elko Klobu_ar. He completed his Masters degree in organ playing at the Music Academy in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with professor Hubert Bergant. He perfected his studies in the interpretation of French organ music with the famous Parisian organist Marie-Claire Alain.

His concerts contain works on the organ that were composed during the Baroque period and also contemporary works of the 20th century. His special interest lies in compositions for the organ recently composed by Croatian authors.
Besides more than 200 soloist concerts, he regularly performs as a chamber musician at concerts with singers, trumpeters and violinists. He has also performed many times as the soloist with an orchestra performing compositions by Händel, Haydn, Bossi and Poulenc.

He is a frequent guest at music festivals like Po_ega Organ Evenings, Split Summer Festival, Evening at St. Donat, Rab Evenings. Besides Croatia he gives concerts all around Europe: Italy (Trieste, Padova, Rome, Venice), Slovenia (Ljubljana, Celje, Maribor), the Czech Republic (Olomouc), Austria (Innsbruck, Klagenfurt), Germany (Rotemburg, Hamburg, Hannover, Herfurd), and Latvia (Riga-Dom).

In addition to his concert activities, he is a regular Assistant Professor both at Zagreb University where he teaches Aesthetics of Music and Organ Literature, and at the Music Academy in Ljubljana where he lectures organ literature.

He is constantly enlarging his diverse repertoire which includes works of Croatian authors (An_elko Klobu_ar, Krsto Odak, Boris Papandopulo, Josip Magdi_, Albe Vidakovi_, Fortunato Pintari_). His interest in the music of the 20th century is evident through his performance of French organ literature, in particular the works by Olivier Messiaen, and his cycle «La nativite du Seigneur», which Mario Perestegi performed eleven time in the 2004/05 season.
