“I doesn’t matter to me whether or not I’m modern. What is important, is the inner truth of my music.” Sofia Gubaidulina

Sofia Asgatowna Gubaidulina was born on October 24, 1931 in Chistopol, Tartar Autonomous Republic. She studied piano and composition in the capital Karsan and after graduating went to Moscow to continue her studies.
Dmitri Shostakovich encouraged her to follow her own path, which was clearly opposed to the socialist realism prescribed by the state. The performance of her works in the Soviet Union was banned in the 1960s and 1970s.
However, the premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina Offertorium Concerto for Violin & Orchestra, her first violin concerto in 1981, was the catalyst for her success, especially in the West. Since then, Sofia Gubaidulina, along with Alfred Schnittke and Edisson Denissov, she has been a world-renowned composer.
One of her trademarks is the use of the bayan, a chromatic button accordion, and the use of religious themes.
Gubaidulina moved to Germany in 1992, and is a member of various academies, including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, which is responsible for the annual Oscars. At the Kazan Conservatory, where she first studied, she is now an honorary professor.
