Ivajla Kirova is Founding Artistic Director of Bulgarian Musical Evenings Festival in Germany. “The young Bulgarian pianist is an example of how the Bulgarian art can be developed and supported even beyond the country’s frontiers…” announced Radio Deutsche Welle.
Ivajla Kirova started playing a piano at the age of 7 and at 16 she was the youngest student in the piano class of Prof. Dora Lazarova at the Sofia Music Academy, Bulgaria. Her career started early as a young prize winner. She graduated from the Sofia Music Academy with a distinguished diploma and has Master of Music degrees in piano and chamber music from the Munich University of Music and Theater. In 1997 she relocated in Germany after she was invited to become an Associate Professor at the Munich University of Music and Theater. For eight years she taught international students, participated judged at international piano competitions, and conducted masterclasses in Europe and Asia. She has performed numerous concerts in Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, the UAE and the USA. Her live recordings have been broadcast on television and radio in Bulgaria, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and in the USA.
Kirova has recorded five internationally released CDs, some including her own compositions, collections of poems, songs based on poems of famous Bulgarian poets etc. In 2001 her debut CD was recognized by the world famous Maestro Gerhard Oppitz as “an exceptional record with incredible artistic value”. In 2002 Maestro Alexis Weissenberg so highly praised her performance at the final concert of his masterclass in Switzerland that it was released it on a CD in Zurich in 2003.
In 2014 the German recording label IFO Classics published her third solo CD called “In Memoriam Maestro Alexis Weissenberg” which received exceptional comments such as “incredibly fine”, “brilliant”, “unique, with exceptional dynamic control, technical skill, wonderful tone and expression”. Huntley Dent from the New York Arts and Colin Clarke from Fanfare Magazine praised her CD in their detailed reviews: “As a composer and musician Ivajla Kirova has a remarkable talent.” “Her interpretation of the Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody is completely in the spirit of Weissenberg, with his verve, scale and daring.” “Ivajla Kirova makes her highly regarded teachers feel proud.”
In 2015 and in 2018 she received the Artist Award at the Bel Canto Festivals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was reinvited for more recitals and masterclasses in Asia.
Her fourth CD with Bulgarian chamber music pieces was selected as RECORDING OF THE YEAR 2016 by Musikweb International (World Premiere Recording - CBR 21653, USA).
2019 she received DELTA KAPA GAMA HONOR INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY AWARD for key women educators with extraordinary achievements all over the world (Atlanta, USA)
