Dobrinka Tabakova is a Bulgarian-born composer based in the United Kingdom who began her professional career in the early 2000s composing contemporary classical music for orchestra, chamber ensembles and choir. Her work blends elements of Eastern European folk-inflected melodic writing with contemporary harmonic and textural techniques, and has evolved from intimate chamber and choral pieces into larger-scale orchestral and multimedia projects that engage both Western contemporary classical traditions and Bulgarian musical heritage.
