Marlia
Visionary & Artistic Director
Marlia Cœur is a vocal activator, sound healer, and multi-instrumentalist with over two decades of performance and facilitation across four continents. She is the founder of Resound Academy — an online school for vocal activation, Nāda Yoga, and sacred sound education — and the creator of Biosonic Studio Ubud, Bali’s first vibroacoustic brainwave entrainment studio, now expanding internationally.
A composer, multi-instrumentalist, and ceremonial facilitator, Marlia has delivered 500+ workshops and performances worldwide, trained under Indian classical and Sufi masters, and carries sacred oral traditions from indigenous lineages. She leads AKOYA Choir in Cypriot folk repertoire and weaves her original compositions from handpan, oud, guitar, flute, and voice into ceremonies that dissolve the boundary between performer and listener.
The Bali Handpan Festival is her invitation to bring this world together — in one place, under one sky, in the spirit of sacred sound.
Kolos
Production & Stage Manager
Kolos brings a wealth of hands-on experience in festival curation and execution to our Bali gathering. He was instrumental in the creation and manifestation of Hungary’s premier Handpan and World Music Gathering (HUG)—one of the few European festivals celebrating the beautiful fusion of handpan and global rhythms.
His extensive background spans roles as a festival stage manager, independent event organizer, and production manager for the renowned MAG Instruments. From meticulous administrative planning to the physical implementation of festival grounds, Kolos is a master at orchestrating moving parts. Whether he is supervising third-party collaborators, managing artist relations, or solving on-the-ground challenges, his leadership ensures a seamless experience.
Beyond his logistical expertise, Kolos is a deeply creative soul—a talented multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer who understands the heartbeat of the music from the inside out.
