About Berfy

My violin playing has been described as sensational and unique, of a very high quality. I can play anything, with the depth of emotions.

When I play the violin, I invite every single person listening, to join in the ethereal world of the sounds I create with my instrument, to get so lost in the music that we forget the time and place. This is what music is about, and why I am so passionate to offer my music. I have been on stage since I was 8, have performed with countless orchestras as a soloist, performed in beautiful halls like Tonhalle in Zurich and Wigmore in London. I have recorded Adagio Appassionato, a beautiful emotional piece in an album with the label Sony Classical, conducted with Howard Griffiths and Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. The album came out in 2019. One of my favourite moments in my career was being invited to give a speech in TEDx talk back in 2017. The way I evolved with my music comes from a humbling place which is the amount of experience I have, studying in incredible music schools and with such masters of the violin, that I feel an immense gratitude for my background. I can play any piece, of any styles, and I take pride in my ability to learn incredibly fast. My performance style is extremely professional, I like to create an ambience, a whole experience from start to finish, and it feels as if there is an element of spirituality which can be felt and heard in my performances, from the reviews I have received over time. I have won a lot of violin competitions in the past, which prepared me for crafting my music with the attention to detail and learning the importance of every sound that comes out of my violin and my bow. I learnt that this instrument has an immense spectrum of sound, from the extremely sensitive and gentle sound to the volume of soaring mountains. I believe we become a vessel for the Divinity to flow through us, in frequency and vibration. I offer sounds that can only be truly experienced live, and from what my audiences have always shared with me, it's a unique experience. I am a Turkish born musician, with Kurdish and Armenian roots. I am honoured to be in service with an infinite spectrum of styles and sounds with my violin.
