Violinist Bojidara Kouzmanova introduces her new album: “There are few words that can describe what the violin means to me. She is like a friend, though friendships change, so she is more than a friend. She is a faithful companion; a partner, with whom one has intense discussions. She has known me my whole life and we have shared everything…With this CD, I would like to give you an in-depth look into my musical treasure chest, so that we may share diverse and wonderful moments with each other.” A native Bulgarian, Bojidara Kouzanova began playing violin at the age of five. She finished her studies at the University of Music and Arts in Vienna with Gunter Pichler and completed both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in violin performance with distinction. She has won many national and international violin competitions, including the Bela Bartok Competition, Dobrin Petkov Violin Competition, and others. She currently plays a Postiglione violin (1890), which was kindly loaned to her by a private sponsor.
