Belma Bešlić-Gál (b. 1978, Tuzla, SFR Yugoslavia/Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a composer, pianist, curator, and intermedia artist. Her work unfolds at the intersection of sound, language, space, and perception, as a searching movement between structured concept and poetic permeability. She understands her music as an organic sonic organism, in which space, time, light, silence, and technology are equal components of a compositional language devoted as much to the visible as to the unreachable. Over the past two decades, her works have been performed by leading ensembles of the international contemporary music scene and premiered at renowned festivals worldwide. She has received numerous awards, including the I z S Art & Culture Prize, the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition, and the Publicity Award of SKE. Bešlić-Gál is the Artistic Director of the Viennabased festival shut up and listen!, the international artist residency Zvjezdane Stazein Mijakovići in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Viennese cultural platform Kultur 1. Bešlić-Gál lives and works in Vienna.
