Margot Oitzinger was born in Graz (Austria) and was educated at the university of her hometown. Very early in her studies she decided to concentrate her education in early music and deepened her knowledge in masterclasses with Emma Kirkby, Peter Kooij and Jill Feldman. She was a prizewinner at the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig in 2008 and at the International Baroque Singing Competition in Chimay in Belgium in 2006. <
