Her exceptional talent, along with the balance and maturity of her performances, have been recognised by the finest orchestras, venues and festivals around the world. She was introduced by Sir Simon Rattle when she was 16 years old to a packed Festspielhaus in Salzburg during the 2006 Easter Festival. Her performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with Berlin Philharmonic launched her international career and earned her the admiration of both the public and the critics.
She has collaborated with prominent orchestras and directors including London Symphony and Rattle, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (Holliger), New York Philharmonic (Gilbert), Symphonique de Montréal (Nagano), Münchner Philharmoniker and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, (Langree), Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin (Janowski), Hessischer Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester (P. Järvi), Bamberger Symphoniker (Ticciati, Nott), Tonhalle Orchester Zurich (M. Sanderling), NHK Symphony (Kout, Stenz, Norrington), and Rotterdam Philharmonic (Rattle, Gaffigan, Nézet-Séguin).
In the 16-17 season, she made her debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestra, played again with the Symphonique de Montréal, Münchner Kammerorchester and Bayerischer Rundfunk of Munich. She performed in a new production of Lulú, at the Staatsoper in Hamburg, playing Berg’s Violin Concerto conducted by Kent Nagano; and she was artist in residence at the Kammerakademie in Potsdam.
In 17/18, her collaborations include Orchestre National de Lille, RTE National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, London Symphony and Bernard Haitink, Orchestre Philharmonique of Strasbourg and Hamburger Philharmoniker. Worth mentioning is also her debut at the Chamber Orchestra of Europe with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, toured Australia and Japan, and her concerts with Hamburg’s Staatsoper, with Lulu by Alban Berg.
Born in Donauwörth, she started to study violin at the age of six and four years later she became a junior student at the Richard Strauss Conservatoire in Munich, with Olga Voitova. After taking private lessons with Christoph Poppen for a year, she went on to study at the Hochschule with Ana Chumachenco, from 2001 to 2012.
