Victoria Jordanova

about

Victoria Jordanova was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Her education and her career have made her a truly international artist. She received her early musical training at the Belgrade conservatory where, at age seventeen, she earned a diploma in composition, piano and harp. Graduate studies at the Paris Conservatory (on a fellowship from the French government) followed her B.A. degree from Michigan State University. Also in France, she was an Artist in Residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts. After special studies at the Moscow Conservatory, she returned to the U.S. on a Langley Fellowship to New York University where she received her M.A. in Musicology. Recently Jordanova was awarded The Bogliasco Foundation composer's Fellowship. Victoria Jordanova also established the ArpaViva Foundatiun dedicated to publishing new music and media works. Seeking to recapture the spontaneity of expression that characterized her early music making, Jordanova relocated to San Francisco where she is pursuing a career as a composer and an improvisor. Melding experimental techniques and electronics with classical training Jordanova creates "graceful and surreal expressions." Four releases on CRI Label from New York have brought her the acclaim of professional musicians and audiences across the United States. Jordanova's CD Requiem for Bosnia and Other Works was selected as one of the 10 best classical recordings of 1994 by New York Newsday. User-contributed text is available under the Cre
