Yanna Pelser

Yanna Pelser is a Rotterdam-based musician and composer, currently focussing on inventing ways to make the viola (her main instrument) function in multiple musical styles. Her specialty is the use of her voice while playing viola, which creates a unique sound blend. In the modern classical music idiom, she will soon record new compositions that focus on the synergy of viola and voice. In the pop music idiom, she recently released her debut album 'Drops' under her singer-songwriter name ALBERTINE, accompanying her lyrics on plucked viola, supported by a pop band. She won the first prize in the prestigious 'Sena Performers Grote Prijs van Rotterdam 2021' in the category singer-songwriter.
