Melinda Veres

Her musical path began on the piano at the age of eight, before expanding into the world of wind instruments at eleven, studying alto horn, euphonium, and alto saxophone under Munteanu Ambrozie. These formative years were shaped by a wide range of ensemble experiences, from brass bands to festivals and chamber music settings. At fourteen, she fully embraced the trombone, beginning her focused training at the Plugor Sándor Arts High School in Sfântu Gheorghe, where she studied with Demeter Attila and later Molnár Géza. In 2018, she was admitted to the Gheorghe Dima National Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, where she completed her Bachelor’s degree with highest distinction under the mentorship of Mircea Neamt and Leonard Neamt.
During this time, she became actively involved in the Romanian musical scene, performing with leading institutions such as the Brasov Philharmonic, Romanian National Opera Timisoara, Hungarian Opera Cluj-Napoca, and Sibiu State Philharmonic. Her artistic development continued internationally through the Erasmus+ program at Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam, where she studied with Alexander Verbeek. She later returned to complete her Bachelor’s degree with top honors, and subsequently pursued a Master of Music at Codarts (2022–2024), studying with Alexander Verbeek and Rommert Groenhof.
