Svitlana Azarova (1976-    )

Svitlana Azarova, composerSvitlana Azarova graduated in 1996 from Izmail Pedagogical Institute in Ukraine. From 1996-1997 she attended international summer master-classes held by such known composers as Marek Kopelent, Luis de Pablo, Paul Mefano, Jean-Ives Busser and Zygmunt Krauze (Czech Republic). In 2000 she graduated as a composer from Odessa State A.V.Nezhdanova Conservatoire (now Odessa State A.V.Nezhdanova Musical Academy) under Prof. Karmella Tsepkolenko. In the same year Azarova attended master-classes held by Faraj Karaev and Krzystof Meyer in Azerbaijan. In 2003 she was a participant at the six months long scholarship program of the Ministry Culture of Republic Poland (Gaude Polonia) at the Frédéric Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw with professor Marcin Blazewicz. In 2005 she was elected to participate with a grant from the society KulturKontakt Austria in the 9th International Academy for New Composition and Audio-Art, Avantgarde Tirol with Professor Boguslaw Schaeffer and Dr. Richard Boulanger (Seefeld, Austria). In 2007 she graduated MMus Composition with Theo Loevendie at the Amsterdam Conservatorium (The Netherlands). In the words of Frans Waltmans, "Azarova's music is highly inspired by spiritual and philosophical issues. Sometimes a picture or an incident can inspire her to write a composition. Her pieces are imbued with slavic soul composed in western contemporary fashion. Although rarely minimalistic, Svitlana believes that music allows for the best meditation."
