About

Veronika Voetmann is a versatile cellist and composer.

During the last decade, she has worked with a wide range of artists and ensembles, creating music for the contemporary music scene, and performed nationally and internationally with her own ensembles as well as in several theater productions. As a musician, she is most often involved in projects where musical co-creation and improvisation is part of the job, and she often uses electronic devices and pedals in her cello playing. She is active in her own ensembles Stringflip and Cloud Atlas Trio, both of which work within the roots genre, and she has been a “side-woman” with a large number of artists.

As a composer, she focuses on creating music with a rich texture, embracing organic growth and fluidity. She often writes with a narrative or aims to craft a particular atmosphere through her music. Her works have been performed by notable groups like the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, Jönköping Sinfonietta, and the DR Vocal Ensemble, among others, and in 2023, her composition “Frostbitten” was featured at the ISCM – World New Music Days in Johannesburg. She is currently furthering her education as a Master’s student at the Royal Danish Academy of Music.
