About the artist Julia Fischer

Born in 1983 in Munich, Germany, Julia Fischer is among the top violin soloists performing for audiences around the globe. Reviewers have described her as 'not a talent, but a full-fledged phenomenal violinist', others have said 'she takes your breath away', is 'worthy of a hailstorm of superlatives', and has a 'winning blend of steely assurance and unabashed lyricism'. Julia Fischer began her studies before her fourth birthday, when she received her first violin lesson from Helge Thelen; a few months later she started studying the piano with her mother Viera Fischer. Julia Fischer began her formal violin education at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg, under the tutelage of Lydia Dubrowskaya. At the age of nine Julia Fischer was admitted to the Munich Academy of Music, where she continues to work with Ana Chumachenco. Among the most prestigious competitions that Julia Fischer has won are the International Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition under Lord Yehudi Menuhin's supervision, where she won both the first prize and the special prize for best Bach solo work performance in 1995 and the Eighth Eurovision Competition for Young Instrumentalists in 1996, which was broadcast in 22 countries from Lisbon. In 1997 Julia Fischer was awarded the ‘Prix d‘Espoir’ by the Foundation of European Industry.
