Veronika Eberle - NOSPR

Veronika Eberle’s exceptional talent and the poise and maturity of her musicianship have been recognised by many of the world’s finest orchestras, venues and festivals, as well as by some of the most eminent conductors. Sir Simon Rattle’s introduction of Veronika aged just 16 to a packed Salzburg Festpielhaus at the 2006 Salzburg Easter Festival in a performance of the Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the Berliner Philharmoniker, brought her to international attention.

Key orchestra collaborations since then include the London Symphony (Rattle, Haitink), Concertgebouw (Holliger), New York Philharmonic (Gilbert), Montreal Symphony (Nagano), Munich Philharmonic and Gewandhaus Orchestras (Langrée), Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (Janowski), hr-Sinfonieorchester (P. Järvi), Bamberger Symphoniker (Ticciati, Nott), Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich (M. Sanderling), NHK Symphony (Kout, Stenz, Norrington), Bayerischer Rundfunk Munich (Nézet-Séguin) and Rotterdam Philharmonic (Rattle, Gaffigan, Nézet-Seguin).

Recent concerto highlights have included debuts with the Philadelphia, San Francisco Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras as well as with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (Nézet-Séguin), Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra (Harding), Luxembourg Philharmonic (Manze) and Orchestre National de Lille. She also toured Australia making debut performances with the Auckland Philharmonia, Tasmanian Symphony and West Australian Symphony Orchestra as well as with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.

The 2020/2021 season saw the world premiere performances of a new Violin Concerto by Toshio Hosokawa which she presented with the Hamburg Philharmoniker (Nagano), Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (Liebreich) and Tonkunstler Orchestra at Grafenegg Festival (Hosokawa). In 2021/2022 further performances took place with the NHK and Hiroshima Symphony orchestras in Japan and the Hong Kong Sinfonietta.

European concerto highlights in the past season included projects with the Brussels Philharmonic (Ono), Swedish Chamber Orchestra (Fischer), Kammerorchester Basel (Bard), NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra (Stutzmann) as well as the Oslo Philharmonic (Manze), Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (Viotti), Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi (Gamzou) and RAI National Symphony Orchestra (Chauhan). Performances in the USA included with the San Diego (Payare) and Utah Symphony Orchestras (Fischer). Chamber music projects included performances at the Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg) with Alban Gerhardt and Markus Becker and at the Leipzig Gewandhaus with Anna Prohaska, Alisa Weilerstein and Iddo Bar-Shai amongst others.

Born in Donauwörth Southern Germany, she started violin lessons at the age of six and four years later became a junior student at the Richard Strauss Konservatorium in Munich with Olga Voitova. After studying privately with Christoph Poppen for a year, she joined the Hochschule in Munich, where she studied with Ana Chumachenco.

She has benefited from the support of a number of prestigious organisations, including the Nippon Foundation, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust (Fellowship in 2008), the Orpheum Stiftung zur Förderung junger Solisten (Zurich), the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben (Hamburg) and the Jürgen Ponto-Stiftung (Frankfurt). She was a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist (2011–2013) and was a Konzerthaus Dortmund ‘Junge Wilde’ (2010–2012).

Veronika Eberle plays on a violin made by the Italian violin maker Antonio Stradivari in 1693, which was made available to her on generous loan by the Reinhold Würth Musikstiftung gGmbH.
