Lora Markova

Lora Markova went through the prestigious school of the legendary "Virtuoso Maker" Zakhar Bron. Supported by Leonidas Kavakos, she won the "Tibor Varga Junior" Violin Competition in Sion in 2021. Since then, Lora Markova has been studying in Berlin with Kolja Blacher – a student of Dorothy DeLay and Sándor Végh, a prominent concertmaster of Claudio Abbado and himself a key figure in European music tradition. An impressive artistic biography that is still just beginning. The young Bulgarian will make her debut at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad this year. Her program offers a brilliant musical platform for some of the two great violin-piano duos of the early 20th century.
