Bor Zuljan is active in different musical genres playing many kinds of early, modern and traditional plucked-strings instruments. Called the "Revolutionary of the lute" (Le Soir), he's been rediscovering forgotten improvisation and playing techniques, instruments and sounds, always expanding the palette of possibilities.

He is performing regularly as soloist and with ensembles, such as Doulce Mémoire, Tasto Solo, Graindelavoix, L'Achéron, Vox Luminis, Il Giardino Armonico, with the Teofilovići twins, in duo with Dušan Bogdanović, with Romain Bockler (Dulces Exuviae) as well as with his ensemble La Lyra.

From 2011, he is the artistic director of an early music festival Flores Musicae in Slovenia. His critical edition of Gorzanis' Second lute book has been published by the Slovenian Musicological Society, resulting also in an awarded CD La barca del mio amore with music by the same composer, featuring La Lyra and the italian singer Pino De Vittorio (Arcana - Outhere Music). In 2019 he began a series of albums for the Ricercar label (Outhere Music): Josquin - Adieu mes amours, the first CD of the duo Dulces Exuviae is already very well received by specialized critics; the year after his first solo album Dowland - A Fancy wins the prestigious Diapason d'Or de l'année 2020, CHOC de Classica, the Editor's Choice de Gramophone, and other accolades, followed in 2022 by Gesualdo - Il liuto del Principe (Diapason d'Or, CHOC de Classica,…). Toutes les nuits, the new album by the duo Dulces Exuviae has just been released under the same label, being chosen as the Recording of the month in the Gramophone magazine, receiving the Diapason d’Or and other accolades.

After graduating in jazz and classical programmes at the Ljubljana Conservatory of Music, he continued his studies with Aniello Desiderio in Koblenz, Germany. In 2007 he started studying at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève where he then obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Guitar and Lute performance (Dusan Bogdanovic, Jonathan Rubin), continued with a specialization in Medieval music and finished a MA in lute pedagogy. Since 2011 he has been working as research assistant at the same school on a project on Fantasia improvisation on lute in the 16th Century, a topic he is developing for his doctoral thesis at the University in Tours.

He’s regularly invited to give conferences and master classes at institutions, such as the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, HEM de Genève and CNSMD Lyon. Since autumn 2023 he’s the lute and basso continuo professor at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milano.
