Azima Melita Kolin was born in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
She began her studies at the Musical Academy in Sofia, graduated at the Academia ‘Santa Cecilia’ in Rome, and received a prize for virtuosity with distinction at Geneva Conservatory. After winning prizes at the international competitions in Leipzig, Barcelona and Taormina, she has given many recitals in Europe. She directed and ran a Chamber Music Festival for ten years in Dunvegan, Isle of Skye.
In 1997, inspired by the 13th century Persian mystical poet Jelaludin Rumi, Azima began a series of concert/readings combining Rumi's poems with classical music by Bach, Beethoven, Scriabin and Brahms. In a joint effort with readers of various nationalities, she has given over a hundred concerts in England, Scotland, Germany and Spain. In November 2001, in collaboration with Persian artists, she performed in Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
In collaboration with Maryam Mafi, in the last five years Azima has published three books of Rumi’s poetry: Whispers of the Beloved, Hidden Music and Gardens of the Beloved (published by Harper Collins/Thorsons).
