Natálie Kulina (1996) is a fixture in the new music and interdisciplinary media scene in the Netherlands, where she currently resides. Coming from the culturally abundant region of South Moravia in the Czech Republic, she grew up fostering her love not only for music, but also visual arts, theatre and literature, all of which are prominent in her work today. As a violinist, she divides her time between work in various music ensembles (as a concertmaster in Doelen Ensemble between 2022-2024, among others, where she performs as a guest), orchestra playing, chamber music and solo projects, working closely with composers and directors, recording newly written works and work in film and theatre.

 

In 2025, she took part in a research residency funded by Creative Europe, and dedicates much of her time to two new large cross-art productions set to premiere in upcoming seasons as a part of an international development team. One of her highlights of this year is also being involved as a multidisciplinary performer in a newly written and staged work by SALIX Chamber Opera, which deals with complex themes of motherhood (and rejection, lack, or loss thereof).

 

In 2024, Natálie premiered her own interdisciplinary project ‘The Dark Corner of My Circles’, a mix of performance and audio-visual installation, exploring social curation of other people’s perceptions of ourselves, inner monologue, and how much can we really see and understand about one another; and a new cycle of sonatas for violin and electronics ‘Folk Songs Without Folks’ by prominent Dutch composer Peter-Jan Wagemans.

​

When not performing, Natálie works as a producer, and a project manager of the Rizoom network, which connects young Netherlands based creatives with the most important musical institutions focused on innovation, such as Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Korzo theatre, Gaudeamus Festival, November Music Festival and Asko|Schönberg ensemble, researching reframing of concert experiences to include performers and audiences of a vast range of backgrounds, ways of expression and abilities, and to centre stories that matter to us today.
