Rooted in natural soundscapes and highlighting the fragility of the environment, Swiss/ Catalan singer and violinist Violeta Vicci is a multi-faceted contemporary classical and electronic artist. Having started the violin at just four years old, Violeta gave her concert debut at age fifteen. She then moved to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music and has released three studio albums to date.
Violeta has extensively toured her audio visual, immersive show opening for The Orb’s UK tour, Marconi Union, System7 and has collaborated with artists like Thom Yorke, Clint Mansell, Elbow, Fontaines DC, Jonny Greenwood, Hauschka, Bat For Lashes and Declan McKenna. Her music has received national and international radio play on BBC Radio3, BBC6 Music, RAI3, RNE, KEXP, Dublab, Radio Hannover and she has performed at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, Paris Philharmonie and festivals like British Summer Time and Glastonbury.
In 2020, she launched Live Music in Nature, a series of live-streamed concerts performed in breathtaking natural locations, combining strings, voice, and effect pedals to create a soundtrack to nature. Her album Cavaglia translates the beauty of a pristine Swiss valley and its surrounding lakes and glaciers into music. Inspired by the ancient Japanese practice of 'forest bathing', her album Forest Music in collaboration with Ben Morales Frost, will be released in February 2025.
