Biography
Sibila Konstantinova was born in 1982 in Varna, Bulgaria.
She started playing the piano at the age of five and a year later was accepted to study at the Dobri Hristov National Music School, where she graduated with highest honors in 2000.
Whilst at school, Sibila participated in a number of public concerts, both in her home town and in every major city in Bulgaria. She gave many recitals and was a frequent guest of the Varna Summer International Music Festival, as well as being a soloist with the Varna Philharmonic Orchestra. She received awards at several national and international competitions, including the Muzikata i Zemjata and The Coast of Hope.
In 2001 Sibila was awarded a full scholarship to continue her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, where she is currently studying at postgraduate level under Professor Joan Havill. In 2003 she won second prize at the Christopher Duke Memorial Competition, a scholarship to attend the 2004 Tel-Hai International Piano Master Classes in Israel, and third prize in the piano competition at the 2002 Oxford Festival.
Recent engagements include performances in the Paxos International Chamber Music Festival in Greece, a documentary film with cellist Stefan Popov (commissioned by Bulgarian National TV) and a concerto performance with the Sofia Symphony Orchestra.
Sibila is a recipient of an MBF Music Education Award, a Philharmonia Orchestra/ Martin Musical Fund Scholarship and a Craxton Memorial Trust Award for 2005-2006. This year she was one of only a few young musicians to receive the prestigious Myra Hess award. Her forthcoming engagements include recitals at St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church and Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
