Originally from Slovenia but raised and educated in Luxembourg, Zala and her younger brother Val have performed since early childhood across Europe, as well as in China and the United States. They have excelled as soloists, including in performances with orchestras, as chamber musicians, and in piano four-hands and two-piano configurations.
Their musical journey began at the Conservatory of the City of Luxembourg, where they earned multiple diplomas in piano performance, music theory, and piano four hands. They have won several national and international competitions for young musicians, but for several years, they have preferred focusing on public performances and recordings. As outstanding talents, they attracted the attention of distinguished mentors early in their careers. Zala studied under Maria João Pires and Louis Lortie at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Belgium, while Val trained with Jacques Rouvier at the Musica Mundi School in Belgium and Sylvia Thereza, former assistant to Pires.
From 2019 to July 2025, Zala pursued her studies at the Royal College of Music in London, graduating in 2023 with a First-Class Bachelor's degree and completing a two-year Master of Music in Performance (Keyboard) with Distinction. Val earned a Bachelor's degree in piano performance from the LUCA School of Arts in Belgium. Both are currently in their first year of a Master's programme at the École Normale de Musique de Paris ‘Alfred Cortot', specialising in piano four-hands and two-piano repertoire.
In 2021, they recorded an album of piano four-hands music in Germany, following Zala's debut solo album in 2017 at age fourteen. Both recordings feature iconic repertoire from various periods alongside original compositions written for them by contemporary Luxembourgish and French composers. These albums have garnered critical acclaim and media attention across multiple countries.
