composer, conductor, performer, experimentalist and new music researcher; b. 18th January 1989 in Gdynia. She received a Bachelor degree in orchestral conducting in the class of maestro Rafał Jacek Delekta and a Master degree in composition in the class of professor Krzysztof Meyer from the Academy of Music in Kraków as well as a Master degree in orchestral conducting in the class of maestro Szymon Bywalec from the Academy of Music in Katowice. Currently she works as a freelance composer, conductor and essayist on new music. She is the artistic co-director of the Tehran Contemporary Music Festival.

Martyna Kosecka is the winner of the "5-Minute Opera" Competition organized by the 28th Music Biennale Zagreb in Croatia in 2015. The Festival commissioned her to write a full-length opera Klothó – thread of the tales, which opened the 29th MBZ in 2017. In 2015 Kosecka wrote Umbra for three percussionists and electronics as a result of the call for proposlas of the Swiss EKLEKTO Ensemble. In 2017 she won the 2nd prize at the 4th National Krzysztof Penderecki Composition Competition for Orsi for string orchestra. In 2019 she participated in the CECIA Project (Collaborative Electroacoustic Composition with Intelligent Agents) organized by ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe.

Kosecka’s works were performed in Poland and abroad, among others, at the "Warsaw Autumn" International Festival of Contemporary Music, AudioArt Festival Kraków, OstravaDays Festival of New and Experimental Music (Czech Republik), IMPULS Festival (Austria), Music Biennale Zagreb (Croatia), Armel Opera Festival (Austria/Hungary), and Risuonanze Festival (Italy).

Since 2018 Kosecka's compositions are published by Donemus Holland. Her music is based on spectral techniques of sound organization and experiments with scales, tuning, microtone and time perception. She often uses performative elements in composition, balancing towards instrumental theater and improvisation techniques. She doesn’t mind being called a post-spectralist or neo-sonorist.

In 2013, together with the Iranian composer Idin Samimi Mofakham, she founded Spectro Centre for New Music. The organisation aims to popularize and promote the genre of contemporary classical music through workshops and concerts. It runs the International Contemporary Music Festival in Tehran, which is the largest festival focused on contemporary music in the Middle-East area.
