Iva Bittová-Czech Violinist, Singer at Outpost

Czech violinist, singer and composer, Iva Bittová describes her work as “my own personal folk music.” Her performances, which feature her simultaneous singing, playing, and acting have been described as “… so intimate and personal you can almost feel her breath on your ears.” New York Magazine calls her music “… a fusion of Old World and New Music sensibilities, infused with the spirit and language of Czech, Slovak, and Moravian folk music.” On her life-long work as a performer, Bittová has said, “I have found the way to myself and thus also to others. I understand there are many hearts in the world, and each beats differently.”
