Mitso Floor

Mitso Floor is an avid chamber and orchestral musician from Seattle, WA. Outside of the California Symphony, he is the violist of Friction Quartet, an ensemble dedicated to modernizing the chamber music experience and expanding its repertoire. The quartet’s most recent album release, Proper Nostalgia, explores post-processing as an integral part of the music and features all newly-commissioned pieces. Mitso regularly substitutes with the San Francisco and Seattle Symphonies and holds positions in several Bay Area orchestras. He received a bachelor’s degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a master’s degree from the University of Miami, and his past teachers include Matthew Young, Jodi Levitz, and Dimitri Murrath.

When not playing the viola, Mitso can be found riding bikes and trains to far-off locations, knitting, 3D printing, or creating videos of himself simultaneously playing many different instruments (and non-instruments) for his YouTube channel “Beanzo”.
