Elçim Özdemir, viola
Elcim Özdemir was born in Ankara, Turkey. She was 10 years of age when she started playing the viola. She was immediately fascinated by the special sonority of this instrument, both sombre and profound, and dedicated herself to becoming a viola player. She accomplished her studies brilliantly in her home town music academy and thereafter perfected her studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Lyon in the class of Tasso Adamopoulos.
Elcim Özdemir feels that her instrument plays an important role in chamber and orchestral music as it is placed in the centre of the formation and is immersed in the surrounding music thus acting as a link between the tonalities of the various instruments and bringing a warm touch to the musical ensemble.
As a member of various groups of chamber music, she has had the opportunity to play in numerous festivals and to perform as soloist at concerts all over the world, transmitted by radio and television.
