Victoria Jordanova was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Her education and career have made her a truly international artist. Jordanova received her early musical training at the Belgrade Conservatory where, at age seveteen, she earned a diploma in compostion, piano and harp. After earning a BA degree from Michigan State University, Jordanova pursued graduate studies at the Paris Conservatory on a fellowship from the French government. While in France, she served as an Artist in Residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts. Following her studies in Paris, Jordanova studied at the Moscow Conservatory and then returned to the United States on a Langley Fellowship at New York University where she received a MA in Musicology. Seeking to recapture the spontaneity of expression that distinguished her early forays into music, Jordanova relocated to San Francisco to pursue a career as a composer and improvisor. Melding experimental techniques and electronics with classical training, Jordanova creates surreal compositions that have received critical acclaim across the United States.
