A wonderfully versatile musician, Carolin Widmann’s activities span
the great classical concerti, new commissionsspecially written for
her, solo recitals, a wide variety of chamber music and, increasingly,
play/direction performances from the violin. Widmann was awarded the
Bayerischer Staatspreis for music in 2017, honouring her individuality
and exceptional musicianship. Widmann was also the recipient of an
International Classical Music Award (Concerto category) for her
critically acclaimed recording of both Mendelssohn’s and Schumann’s
Violin Concertos with the Chamber Orchestra ofEurope, released in
August 2016 by ECM and which Widmann herself conducted from the
violin. Named ‘Musician of the Year’ at the International Classical
Music Awards 2013, Widmann has enjoyed collaborations with some of the
world’s leading orchestras including the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal
Stockholm Philharmonic, SeattleSymphony, Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester
Berlin, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Orchestre National de France, Tonhalle
Zurich,Czech Philharmonic, Vienna Radio Symphony, Bayerische Rundfunk,
and Sydney Symphony, with distinguished conductors such as Sir Simon
Rattle, Riccardo Chailly, Sir Roger Norrington, Edward Gardner, Sakari
Oramo, VladimirJurowski, Marek Janowski, Christoph von Dohnányi and
Daniel Harding. She has also appeared at such widely known festivals
as Berliner Festspiele, Salzburg, Lucerne, Festival d' Automne,
Ravinia Festival and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
During the 2014-15 season, Widmann was Artist-in-Residence at the Alte
Oper, Frankfurt, which included numerous recital and chamber
performances and a play/direct project on gut strings with Akademie
für Alte Musik Berlin. That season also saw Carolin perform the world
premiere of a new violin concerto written for her by Julian Anderson,
at the SouthbankCentre with the London Philharmonic under Jurowski.
Following the release of Widmann’s critically acclaimed
Mendelssohn/Schumann Concerto’s disc, the 2017/18 season saw her give
performances with the BBC Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic,
Bayerische Rundfunk, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Residentie Orkest, and RTE
National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, as well as recitals at the
Ultraschall Berlin, Bozar in Brussels, in Salzburg and Fribourg and

Mozartwoche Salzburg and the opening week at the Elbphilharmonie
Hamburg), played a solo recital in a football stadium in Frankfurt at
a project curated by architect Daniel Libeskind, and has designed
concert programmes to be performed at museums such as the Museum
Ludwig Cologne and the Museum of Modern Art MMK in Frankfurt. In March
