HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Sabi Yordanov (born 1995 in Rousse, Bulgaria) is a versatile violinist with a deep artistic instinct and a distinctly personal musical signature. He began his musical training at the National School of Arts “Prof. Veselin Stoyanov” in Rousse, where he received a comprehensive artistic foundation.

​

 

He continued his studies at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf under Prof. Ida Bieler and is currently pursuing his master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold in the renowned class of the legendary Auryn Quartet, further refining his chamber music artistry and soloistic expression. He is a prizewinner of several national and international competitions, including the Franz Schubert and Anton Rubinstein competitions, and has gained extensive experience both as a soloist and chamber musician.

​

​

Sabi has performed at major European festivals, including the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival (SHMF) and the Davos Festival, and has been engaged in various international festival orchestras. His artistic collaborations include work with distinguished musicians such as Christoph Eschenbach, Justus Frantz, Manfred Honeck and Ton Koopman.

​

​

As the founder of the successful, internationally performing Equinox String Quartet, Sabi Yordanov is an engaged and highly reliable chamber music partner.

In the past year, he also founded the Yordanov Duo together with his brother—a violin–piano ensemble that has already thrilled audiences on numerous stages, including the historic citadel of Schloss Jülich and concert venues across Germany and Switzerland. The duo combines virtuosic classical repertoire, refined chamber music, and stylish modern elements.

​

​

Alongside his classical focus, Sabi also engages with contemporary creativity by producing sophisticated, artistically shaped arrangements of modern songs, which he reinterprets in elegant, concert-ready form. This fusion of tradition and modern sound aesthetics gives his profile a unique and highly engaging character.

Sabi is also active in interdisciplinary artistic projects. Together with his partner Dayan Schaer, he composed and recorded the soundtrack for the book “Gibt es Plätze im Himmel?”, creating a sensitive, atmospheric and film-like sound world that beautifully extends and enriches the narrative of the book.

With his warm tone, expressive playing, and creative versatility, Sabi belongs to the new generation of violinists who do not simply occupy the stage — they make it shine.
