Julija Morgan is studying classical violin for Detlef Hahn at the Norwegian Academy of Music. She has also studied Baroque violin for Bjarte Eike and Bernhard Forck. In addition to her violin studies, she has attended Idun Lovén Art School in Stockholm where she deepened her interest in painting and composition. Julija is a member of the music collective Damkapellet and improvisational groups as STÖK, Tvinna and Jord. As a freelancer, she plays in the Baroque orchestra Barokkanerne among others.
As both composer and performer, Julija is interested in investigating the impact of different formats of the musical expression and the interaction between the musicians, which has led to the creation of different kinds of graphic scores. Among her collaborations with others, she has worked with Tove Bagge to interpret Julija's graphic score Tuskaftsväv, a piece created specifically for their duo project Tvinna. They have performed the piece several times, including the festival Serendip in Oslo.
Damkapellet has also performed several works by Julija in Copenhagen. The latest piece Glaskropp was played in a performance developed in collaboration with Dansk komponistförening and Köbenhavns Musikteater.
