Dr Abigail Dolan

Abigail Dolan is co-founder and CEO of Symphonova, bringing to the project her leadership skills, background in performance studies and extensive experience as a concert flautist. 

Abigail received her PhD from King’s College London. Her research examines musical performance from both a historical and cognitive perspective. Her work has been awarded the AVI Fellowship and the Edison Fellowship of the British Library Sound Archive.

Abigail founded and served as Artistic Director of the Intimate Engagements chamber-music concert series at Clare Hall, Cambridge University. She was elected a Fellow Commoner in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the College life.

Abigail has performed solo and in chamber music ensembles at international festivals and concert venues worldwide. Her discography includes French repertoire programmes (Selena label), Michael Wolpe’s flute concerto (Memus publication) and works by composers Andre Hajdu and Yinam Leef. Concerto performances include Nielsen’s concerto and her arrangement for flute of Mendelssohn’s violin concerto (the Symphonova Orchestra), Partos’ flute concerto (Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra) and Ben-Haim’s Divertimento Concertante (Kaprizma Ensemble). Her repertoire extends from classical concerti and chamber works to today’s music, with an increasing number of pieces written for and dedicated to her.

 

Goran Tchubrilo

Goran Tchubrilo is fascinated by Symphonova’s unique concept of integrating musicians with the most recent developments in music technology, as well as by the new opportunities that open-up to composers, performers, and in the concert arena in general. He was trained as a composer at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in Austria. In 2005 he started his training in sample based music production, with Vienna Symphonic Library as his main (but not only) area of interest. He is also the author and lecturer of the Art of VSL, an online learning platform for VSL libraries and software.

Gregory Ser

Gregory Ser came across the Symphonova at the Limmud conference in December 2015 and became immediately enthralled and inspired by its possibilities. Since then, he has been Symphonova’s stage engineer, collaborator and loyal fan.

Born in Moscow, Gregory came to the UK in 2007 and studied music at Leeds College of Music and Thames Valley University, graduating in 2012 with a music technology and composition degree. Gregory discovered his passion for music and composition at an early age and receives private music training in Moscow. His interest in music continues throughout his current studies at a law school and results in multiple projects ranging from playing in pop and rock bands to writing music for avant-garde art installations. Gregory currently leads a choir called ‘Tabouli’ based in New North London Synagogue and writes music as an independent artist.
