Experience Dobrinka Tabakova live on June 27th

Dobrinka Tabakova, a Bulgarian-born composer currently based in London, will have a concert dedicated to her work presented at Sonorium in Tokyo on June 27, 2026. Tabakova’s compositional style is often described as neo-romantic with influences from Bulgarian folk music and spectralism. Her works frequently feature rich textures, evocative harmonies, and a focus on timbre and instrumental colour, often exploring themes of memory and landscape. She writes for a variety of ensembles, including chamber orchestras, string ensembles, and solo instruments.

Sonorium is a relatively new concert hall in Tokyo, opened in 2023. It distinguishes itself through its architectural design prioritizing acoustic excellence and intimate performance spaces. The hall was conceived as a venue specifically for chamber music and contemporary classical works, aiming to provide an environment conducive to nuanced listening experiences. Its construction incorporated advanced acoustic modelling techniques to achieve optimal sound diffusion and clarity. The space features adjustable acoustic panels allowing for customization depending on the ensemble performing. It is located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo and has quickly gained recognition within the city’s classical music scene for its high-quality sound and dedication to showcasing both established and emerging composers.
