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 Cit 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 Inc., dedicated to providing access to the highest quality music education to children, regardless of their economic status.
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.
