ALEN KOPUNOVIĆ LEGETIN, ORGAN

Alen Kopunović Legetin (Subotica, 29 October 1974) is a Croatian organist, choirmaster, composer, pedagogue and promoter of sacred and concert music, an artist who has built a distinctive and powerful artistic profile on both the Croatian and international music scene over the course of his long career. His professional activity encompasses concert organ performance, liturgical music, composition, pedagogy, and the artistic direction of various musical ensembles and projects. At the centre of his work stands the art of the organ — an instrument that, in his artistic approach, becomes a medium of profound musical, spiritual and aesthetic expression.

Alen Kopunović Legetin holds a distinguished place on the Croatian music scene as an organist, choirmaster, composer and promoter of church and concert music. His artistic personality has been shaped through a synthesis of discipline, emotion, spirituality and high artistic ambition. This combination has resulted in an interpretative style that simultaneously respects tradition while seeking a personal artistic truth. As an organist, he is known for his monumental sound, pronounced interpretative dramaturgy, and his ability to bring complex musical works closer to a wider audience without compromising their artistic depth.

Musical Education

He received his primary and secondary music education in Subotica, where he completed music school in both the theory and piano departments. He continued his organ studies at the Academy of Music of the University of Zagreb, graduating in 1997 in the class of Ljerka Očić. For his artistic achievements, he received the Rector’s Award of the University of Zagreb. During his studies, he served as organist at the Minor Seminary on Šalata and at St Mark’s Church in Zagreb, gaining valuable liturgical and concert experience. He further pursued his education in an international environment. In the academic year 1998/1999, he undertook advanced studies at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg under Elisabeth Ullmann, and later continued his specialization in church music at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome with Fr Theo Flury.

Liturgical and Pedagogical Activity

From 1999 to 2016, he served as organist and choirmaster of St Lawrence Church in Požega and as Pontifical Organist of the Diocese of Požega. During this period, he made a significant contribution to the development of the musical life of both the city of Požega and the diocese. He worked as conductor of the Croatian Cultural and Artistic Society Vijenac Požega, artistic director of the Požega Organ Evenings festival, and professor at the Požega Music School, where he taught organ, choir and piano.

From 2017 to 2020, he served as organist and choirmaster of the Parish of the Annunciation of the Lord in Zagreb, and from 2023 to 2025 as organist and choirmaster of St Maximilian Kolbe Parish in Zagreb.

Pedagogical work occupies an important place in his artistic activity. As a professor and mentor, he has educated new generations of musicians, transmitting knowledge, experience and high aesthetic standards.

Concert Activity

As a concert organist, he has developed an extensive solo and chamber career. He performs regularly throughout Croatia and Europe and has appeared as a soloist with ensembles including the Zadar Chamber Orchestra, the Croatian Radiotelevision Symphony Orchestra, the Varaždin Chamber Orchestra, the Croatian Armed Forces Orchestra, and the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. He has performed in numerous concert halls and cathedrals across Europe, including St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the cathedrals of Munich, Budapest, Kotor, Belgrade and Subotica, as well as St David’s Hall in Wales. He has appeared at many festivals, including Musical Evenings in St Donatus, Rab Evenings, Osor Musical Evenings, Makarska Cultural Summer, Ars Organi Sisciae, Organum Histriae, Požega Organ Evenings, Varaždin Baroque Evenings, and is a regular guest of the international festival Organs of St Anastasia in Zadar.

Chamber and Ensemble Activity

Alongside his solo career, he is also active as a chamber musician. He is a member of the trio Fiat Lux (soprano Josip Lončar and trumpeter Dario Teskera), leads the male vocal quartet Adore, and performs in the organ duo Voluntas with organist Davor Ljubić.

He has collaborated with vocal ensembles and the klapa groups Stine and Leggero. Earlier in his career, he served as artistic director of the vocal-instrumental ensemble Capella Lignum and of the wooden chapels festival Sancta Barbara.

Compositional Work

As a composer, he is primarily devoted to sacred and liturgical music. His oeuvre includes Mass settings, motets, psalms, litanies, works for choir, solo voice and organ, as well as numerous arrangements of liturgical and traditional chants. His compositions are characterized by a synthesis of liturgical functionality and artistic expressiveness. Melodic clarity, stable harmonic structure and a strong spiritual atmosphere form the foundation of his compositional language.

Discography

His discography includes several notable releases, among them the album Portrait of the Queen (Croatia Records), the album Croatian Musical Baroque recorded at the Varaždin Baroque Evenings with mezzo-soprano Dunja Vejzović, Cantantibus Organis recorded on the organs of the Cathedral of St Teresa of Ávila in Požega, as well as the more recent albums Leggero and Magnificat.

He is a member of the Croatian Association of Music Artists.

Artistic Identity and Distinctiveness

What particularly distinguishes Alen Kopunović Legetin is his strong artistic authenticity. His interpretations unite perfectionism with emotional openness. Technical mastery never suppresses expressiveness; rather, it serves as its foundation. His interpretative approach is marked by thorough preparation and deep research into the context of each work. He approaches music not merely as sound but as a bearer of ideas, spiritual message and cultural heritage. His artistic expression often moves between powerful contrasts — from almost ascetic silence to monumental organ forte — creating dramatic intensity and emotional depth.

What Sets Him Apart as an Organist and Choirmaster

Artistic authenticity — he does not follow trends or seek easy audience approval but remains faithful to his own musical conviction and interpretative truth.

Aesthetic rigor combined with emotional openness — a rare balance between disciplined interpretation and strong expressive intensity.

Spiritual identity rooted in faith and music — both his performances and compositions arise from a profound understanding of the spiritual content of music. As a performer, composer and promoter of organ art, Alen Kopunović Legetin makes a lasting contribution to the development and visibility of organ culture in Croatia. His artistic journey bears witness to deep dedication to music, to the organ as an instrument of monumental expression, and to a belief in music as a space of spiritual and artistic truth. 🎼
