Born in 1997, she is an Australian-born performer, flutist, and composer based in Basel. Known for her creative vibrancy and fluidity, Bognár embraces a wide spectrum of artistic avenues and entities throughout her projects and practice. She investigates corporeality and the relationship between the self, the instrument, place, and each other; applying various flutes, instrument preparations and alterations, voice, objects, environments, and her own body. As a performer, Bognár has presented projects in various venues and contexts, including numerous festivals across Europe and Australia. She has worked with numerous ensembles, including Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Recherche, and Klangforum Wien, and since 2024, she has been a member of the Freiburg-based contemporary music group Ensemble Aventure. Some of her current ensemble projects include performative duos iipm project (Switzerland), and press.any.key (Switzerland/Germany); and improv duo Venus Observed (Austria). Collaboration is at the core of her creative practice, and she works closely with creatives of various disciplines on works that reflect upon corporeality, identity, memory, ecology, and society. As a composer, Phoebe experiments with notation, employing graphic scores, aural scores and personalized click tracks, site-specific compositions, and installations. Her works have been performed by various artists at events and venues such as the Center for New Music (USA), Theater Basel, BuchBasel Festival (shortlisted for the SONX Prize). She is a recipient of the APRA AMCOS Art Music Fund 2025, where she will write a new work for Melbourne-based Rubiks Collective for their 2026/27 season.

Phoebe holds a Master’s of Contemporary Music from the High School of Music in Basel and was a member of the International Ensemble Modern Akademie in Frankfurt (2022–23). She was awarded the Fritz Gerber Prize of the Lucerne Festival (2024) and has received scholarships and awards from the Nicati-de Luze Foundation, Ian Potter Cultural Trust, Hirschmann Stipendium, and Australia Council for the Arts, among others. Through art, Phoebe seeks to create new connections and understandings – with each other and for the world we live in.
