Tamara Friebel's fascination and symbiosis of architecture & composition has lead to the creation of works which bear a strong specific relation to a place. Compositions which come directly out of an architecture, or worlds created by her architecture become a new haven for a totally new concept of music. This particular approach transcends the everyday, allowing the past to be shrouded in new light. It is her way of building metaphorical bridges over distances of time, to capture a new Zeitgeist in this moment.

Tamara Friebel is a composer and performer from Cohuna, Australia, currently residing in Austria. She is the recipient of the Austrian Federal Scholarship for Artistic Funding in composition (“Staatstipendium für Komposition 2024”) for 2024.
