Mihailo Trandafilovski

Macedonian-born, London-based composer, violinist and educator Mihailo Trandafilovski’s latest album for Neuma (2021) follows portrait CDs on Métier (2018), Innova Recordings (2015) and LORELT (2011), featuring close collaborators Peter Sheppard Skærved, Neil Heyde, Roger Heaton, Roderick Chadwick, Odaline de la Martinez, Lontano, Kreutzer Quartet and the New London Chamber Choir.  These enduring creative relationships have been at the centre of his work as a composer and have allowed him to explore and stretch instrumental techniques in idiomatic and often uncompromising ways.

His music has recently been performed by leading contemporary music groups such as Ensemble Horizonte (Germany), Quatuor Diotima (France), Reconsil Ensemble (Austria), Icarus Ensemble (Italy), Ensemble Fractales (Belgium), Meitar Ensemble (Israel), Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble (Russia), and the European Contemporary Composers Orchestra.

He is a violinist in the Kreutzer Quartet, with whom he has performed and recorded extensively; has an avid interest in the application of new music to pedagogy; and has led a number of shared projects among the arts promoting contemporary artistic creativity to a wider audience.

Mihailo’s music is published by United Music Publishing.
