Biography

Boris Yoffe initially studied violin but turned to composing early, premiering his first works in the St. Petersburg Philharmonic in 1983.[2]

He emigrated to Israel before the break-up of Soviet Union and completed his composition studies at the Rubin Academy of Music at Tel Aviv University. Later he moved to Karlsruhe, Germany to study with Wolfgang Rihm in 1997.[3] Yoffe was a scholarship holder from various foundations; In 2000 he received the prize from the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.[4]

Around that time, the composer began composing a series of short one-page pieces for string quartet. These were given a performance at ZKM in Karlsruhe in May 2003[5] and recorded on the ECM label by the Rosamunde Quartett with the Hilliard Ensemble. Boris Yoffe himself considers his work not specifically national: Russian, Israeli or German, but in principle ″belonging to all three cultures″.[6]

Yoffe is also the author of numerous arrangements and arrangements as well as several musicological and philosophical essays.[7]
