Urška Štampe
From music lessons to choir rehearsals and singing projects, I bring a deep passion for music - one that inspires, connects, and grows into a vibrant, shared energy that is always contagious.
"In a word, Urska Stampe 'has it all:' impeccable musicianship, knowledge of the voice, effective conducting skills, boundless energy, wide knowledge of choral repertoire and a very positive attitude. Furthermore, she is well-organized and has impressive self-discipline."— Dale Warland, Grammy-Nominated Choral Conductor
Choral Conductor
Urška Štampe is a choral conductor with international experience in Slovenia, Germany, and the United States. She studied Music Education at the University of Ljubljana and earned a Master’s degree in Choral Conducting from the University of Utah, where she was mentored by Dr. Brady Allred and Dr. Barlow Bradford.
She worked as an assistant conductor with the Salt Lake Choral Artists and contributed to projects led by internationally renowned conductors, including Dale Warland and Dr. James Jordan.
Throughout her career, Urška has conducted a wide range of vocal ensembles and received recognition at both national and international levels. She has led numerous workshops for conductors, lectured in choral conducting for the Slovene Choral Association, and participated in prominent European choral festivals, including Europa Cantat, the Briançon Choral Festival, and the Chopin’s Golden Ring Festival. She has also served as a clinician and adjudicator at choral events.
Urška currently conducts Rondo Vocale Vaterstetten and ChoriFeen of the Sänger- und Orchesterverein Ebersberg 1842 in the eastern Munich area.
Her artistic approach combines expressive interpretation with musical precision. She creates meaningful choral experiences that inspire singers, support their artistic development, and foster a lasting connection with audiences. Her energy and passion for choral music are truly contagious.
Singer
Alongside her work as a choral conductor and music educator, Urška is an active mezzo-soprano who regularly appears in recitals, concerts, events, and collaborative artistic projects.
She has performed a diverse repertoire ranging from classical works and contemporary compositions to newly premiered works by living composers. While rooted in the classical tradition, she also enjoys exploring jazz and crossover styles, expanding her artistic expression beyond conventional genre boundaries.
Her collaborations with musicians from Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Ukraine, and the United States reflect a vibrant international musical network and a commitment to artistic exchange. She takes particular pleasure in her artistic collaboration with the distinguished pianist Winfried Kraus.

Through her private music studio, Urška offers thoughtful and individual musical guidance for students of different ages and levels.
Her teaching is shaped by many years of experience as early music educator, music theory, piano or voice teacher.
She supports students in building musical skills, technical foundation, listening skills, and expressive freedom.
Lessons are offered in a calm, encouraging atmosphere, with attention to each student’s personality, pace, and musical goals.
