The Maker

For my final project I have organised a concert with music for violin and harpsichord. I have chosen my repertoire from composers of different countries, starting from the early 17th century and moving towards the middle of the 18th century. By programming the most important styles of baroque music I hope to create a colorful and diverse concert.

One of my biggest interests is the early 17th century Italian and German repertoire written for violin and for string ensemble. The music of this time has an extraordinary variety of different emotions. The way that the different affects alternate in the compositions asks from the performer an almost theatrical delivery. In the future I would like to create an ensemble that specializes in this music and conducts research together. Moreover, almost as every violin player, I would love to be a part of a baroque orchestra and share my enthusiasm with other musicians. Finally, in five years from now I would like to have a stable teaching practice and focus on giving lessons on the baroque violin based on historical methods.
