ABOUT

FABIANA STRIFFLER is known for her strong musical craft and emotional depth. As a composer, she creates works that move between contemporary music, improvisation, jazz, and avant-folk. Her compositions are characterized by narrative depth and a distinct artistic language, drawing on her experience as a violinist, singer, and improviser. Humor, surprise, and sudden gear shifts in mood play an important role in her work.

FEATURED PROJECT

Singing violinist: Her violin work spans from delicate, lyrical melodies to intense, avant-garde textures. The interaction between her voice and violin creates a complex, layered sound that is a defining and emotionally impactful aspect of her artistic identity. She uses them in a highly expressive and innovative way, constantly pushing her artistic boundaries. She performs in her mother tongue.

”Fabiana is one of the most exciting violinists to emerge onto the jazz scene in years! Her playing is the perfect combination of soulfulness, surprise, a beautiful sound and great technique!“

Ken Peplowski

“…violinist Fabiana Striffler and cellist Karsten Hochapfel created a precious state of grace and tenderness as they journeyed along the eight strings…”

“…their mutual listening is absolutely splendid.
Again, again, and again. Oh yes!
What emotions this Friday…”
