Biliana Voutchkova

Biliana Voutchkova is a dynamic and engaging interdisciplinary artist, composer-performer, violinist, improviser and curator with a highly personal, unconventional artistic language. Through the prism of listening, her early training as a classical violinist, and years of development as a contemporary artist and performer, she explores states of spontaneity and intuitive resonance expressed in her diverse activities. Her work includes regular concert performances of original and site-specific works, new music by contemporary composers often written for her, long and multidisciplinary performances, improvisations, compositions and installations with a focus on the connection between the inner world and sound space. Biliana lives in Berlin and on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. She works internationally as a soloist and with renowned ensembles such as the Splitter and Trickster Orchestras, United Berlin, the soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop, the duo Voutchkova/Thieke, Jane in Ether, etc. Biliana is the founder and curator of the DARA String Festival, SHAPE+ Platform Artist for 2022/2023, and recent recipient of the German Residency Fellowship at the Cité des Arts/Paris, where she will reside for six months beginning in October 2022.
