Yfat Soul Zisso
Ever since commencing on her music studies at the relatively late age of 15, Yfat Soul Zisso has been dedicated to her dream of becoming a composer. She graduated from Cardiff University, studying with Arlene Sierra and Robert Fokkens, before commencing on a Masters and later a PhD in composition at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under the supervision of Joe Cutler and Howard Skempton.
Her music, which has been described as ‘curiously original’ (Wales Online) and having ‘real character and sensitivity’ (Wales Arts Review), has been performed by the likes of BBC National Orchestra of Wales, BCMG, and Birmingham Opera Company around the world and in festivals such as the Cheltenham Music Festival, Occupy the Pianos, and the Birmingham Weekender festival. She was a Nonclassical Associate Composer for 2019-21. Her interests range from the use of quarter-tonal soundworlds and textures to the exploration of various extended techniques such as breathing. In addition to composing, Soul is also a singer, specialising in contemporary repertoire.
