BIO
Biliana Voutchkova violin, voice
Biliana Voutchkova is a dynamic, thoroughly engaged composer-performer, violinist, interdisciplinary artist, improvisor and curator with highly individual, unconventional artistic language. Through the prism of listening, her early education in classical music and the years of development as contemporary artist-performer, she explores states of spontaneity and intuitive resonance embodied in her multifaceted activities, focusing on the interconnection between inner world and sound space. Biliana works internationally as a soloist and in collaboration with many renowned artists/ensembles. She is the founder and curator of the DARA String Festival, faculty at the Academy of Arts Bern, SHAPE+ Platform artist for 2022/2023, and recipient of multiple grants and awards. Her music has been released on the labels Unsounds, Another Timbre, Elsewhere, Relative Pitch Records, Confront Recordings, Inexhaustible Editions and Takuroku
"...it seems to me your violin breathes slowly to write l-i-f-e - it is courage and feeling coming from within." Thomas Millroth
