Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio is a performer-composer whose work traverses the space between social structures, individuality, spontaneity, and explores resonance in physical as well as cultural space. Through extreme extended techniques, Ana challenges conventional violin playing, exploring the possibilities and limits of sounds within the instrument. Her music is informed by political, social, and cultural awareness of the systems constituting our societies.
