Yfat Soul Zisso (born 1987)
Ever since commencing on her music studies at the relatively late age of 15, Soul has been dedicated to her dream of becoming a composer. She graduated from Cardiff University, studying with Arlene Sierra and Robert Fokkens and for a brief time studying with Alison Kay, before commencing on a Masters and later a PhD in composition at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under the supervision of Joe Cutler and Howard Skempton.

Her music, which has been described as "curiously original" (Wales Online) and "daring and moving" (The Daily Telegraph), has been performed by the likes of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, The Philharmonia Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Birmingham Opera Company, Xenia Pestova, Carla Rees, and the Fidelio Trio around the world in a wide range of venues including Symphony Hall, The Southbank centre, Hoddinott Hall, and St John's Smith Square, and festivals such as the Cheltenham Music Festival, Occupy the Pianos, and Birmingham Weekender festival. She was a Nonclassical associate composer for 2019-2021, and on the Philharmonia Orchestra's Composers' Academy scheme in 2023-2024.

She is interested in the connection between music, emotional states, and physicality in performance, exploring ideas such as quarter-tones and breathing as a musical idea.

In addition to composing, Soul is also a singer, specialising in performing contemporary repertoire, including Berio's Sequenza III for female voice. Previously a member of the BBC National Chorus of Wales and Via Nova chamber choir, she has performed as both soloist and choral singer across the UK (including at the Wigmore Hall and at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival) and abroad, most recently with the CBSO and BCMG as a soloist. Extremely committed to promoting new music, Soul has commissioned and premiered many new pieces, most of them for solo unaccompanied voice. She studies singing with contemporary specialist Wendy Nieper.
