Hrvoje Krizic, born in Switzerland in 2001, has been playing the cello since the age of six. He received his first lessons from Peter Marti at the Schaffhausen Music School. He completed the Pre-College program at the Winterthur/Zurich Conservatory under Emanuel Rutsche, and also studied piano with Jun Onaka.

With the cello, he has won numerous regional and national prizes. He received musical inspiration from Valery Sokolov, Mischa Maisky, Danjulo Ishizaka, Wen-Sinn-Yang, Louise Pellerin, and Ralph Gothoni. At just 14 years old, he performed Saint-Saens' First Cello Concerto with orchestra at a benefit concert for the Red Cross.

Further solo performances followed in Switzerland, Croatia, Germany, and the Netherlands. In 2018, he participated in the Piz Amalia Festival. In addition to the Saint-Saens Cello Concerto, he debuted in 2019 with both the Haydn Cello Concerto and the Lalo Cello Concerto. In 2021, he won first prize at a national competition with Trio Giocoso. Today, he performs regularly with various ensembles across Switzerland, including Stringendo Zurich and Sinfonietta Bern.
