Tatjana Zimre was born in Germany and started her studies of oboe and violin at a young age. She was accepted into the predegree program of the Landeskonservatorium Vorarlberg/Austria while still attending highschool and continued her studies of oboe in 2006 with Stefan Schilli at the Mozarteum Salzburg/Austria from which she graduated with distinction in 2010.
Her love for baroque music brought her to the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität Linz/Austria where she began her studies of historical oboes with Carin van Heerden. From 2013 to 2017 she continued these studies in the Netherlands at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with Alfredo Bernardini and later on with Josep Domènech, under whose guidance she focused on the classical and romantique oboes.
Tatjana has been collaborating with many of the most acclaimed musicians of the early music scene and continues to do so in concerts worldwide. She has been invited to play as a soloist in numerous festivals and concerts around Europe, amongst them the Regensburger Tage für Alte Musik, the Budapest Spring Festival, the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the festival Musiques sur Ciel, concert hall Zaryadye Moscow and many others. Apart from her work as a soloist she enjoys being a member of different orchestras, notably Balthasar Neumann Ensemble, Anima Eterna Brugge, Orchestra of the 18th century, Le Concert Spirituel, Concerto Köln, Nederlandse Bachvereniging, Hofkapelle München, La Folia Barockorchester, Wiener Akademie as well as Munich Baroque, an ensemble she founded together with her sister, baroque cellist Anna Zimre, in 2017.
