Cellist

London

From 2012 to 2016 I have been participating in young and professional orchestras and festivals such as: - Eurochestries festival in Québec, Canada; with the collaboration of the Young Orchestra of Pekin. - Samara-Toggliatti orchestra conducted by Anatoli Levin, musical director of Tchaikovsky conservatory. - Youth orchestra of Madrid. - Orquesta Filarmonía de Madrid. - Hulencourt Professional Orchestra in Brussels; where she had the opportunity to work with soloists such as Jan Lisiecki or Augustin Dumay. - AlBustan Festival in Beirut, Lebanon, conducted by Gianluca Marciano. During my career I have participated in recordings such as: - Flamenco CD “Suite Gades” with the Spanish guitarist Paco Cepero. - Spanish TV show “El Hormiguero”. - Publicity for FIFA EA Sports. I am the founder member of the Taycan Quartet based in London from 2020 and coached by Levin Chilingrian and Ying Xue. I was member for two years of the cello ensemble “Ruiz-Casaux”. I obtained the LRAM Diploma in teaching in 2021. During my studies I participated in numerous master classes: - Florian Kitt (Graz) - Heidi Litschauer (Mozarteum). - Sung-Won Yang - Jane Fenton - Israel Fausto Martínez - Ben Hughes (BBC) - Festival “Verão Clássico", in Lesbon, with Honorable Mention. - Kronberg Cello Masterclasses. Following her Bachelor of Music in Madrid with the former student of Jànos Starker, Suzana Stefanovic, she continued her studies privately in Paris with Gary Hoffman. She is currently studying for a Master in Arts at the Royal Academy of Music of London with the cellist of the Doric Quartet, John Myerscough. She plays a cello made in England at the end of the 18th century by an unknown maker, generously loaned by the Royal Academy of Music.

Ana Victoria Marinkova's Reviews

Ana made my wedding so special and emotive. I really recommend her to play in your events! Great artist!

The sound and playing of Ana Victoria has made me so much more interested in cello playing and its repertoire. I was very moved by her musicality, control of the instrument, sound and ability to be so artistic while controlling every other aspects of the instrument. Also, her ability to teach is something that I have personally been amazed by. Ana Victoria has a lot of knowledge about cello playing and many tips and tricks that she is able to teach. The way she understands music and is able to teach it to a student is amazing.
