He has performed for the BBC, Hilversum, Basel, Paris, Brussels, Lausanne, Cologne and Istanbul radios, in addition to live performances on KQED and KPFA, and has often appeared at festivals such as the Salzburg Chamber Music Festival in Austria and Meiringen Festival in Switzerland.

Associate Professor and violinist Jassen Todorov won a 2006 Crystal Lyre Award, the highest honor for achievement in music and dance in his native Bulgaria. At age 26, he became the youngest musician to record all six violin sonatas of Eugene Ysaye. Todorov has also recorded Brahms’ three violin sonatas. Dubbed “a player to watch” by music journal The Strad, Todorov has played and taught master classes throughout Europe, Australia, Asia and the U.S. and garnered much acclaim for his intense, original musicianship. He has performed more than 200 solo recitals, at venues such as Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.
