Violin and Electronics – Judith Fliedl in concert

Judith Fliedl, the Austrian-born violinist, has distinguished herself in recent years as a concertmaster, soloist and chamber musician. She has performed internationally in the USA, Canada, Korea, England, Germany, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and many other countries. In addition to engagements at renowned festivals such as the Salzburg Festival, the Windsor Festival, the Oxford Chamber Music Festival, the Pablo Casals Festival, the Maribor Festival, the Aurora Festival, the Musiktage Mondsee and the Impuls Festival Graz, she can be heard regularly at Austria’s most important venues, such as the Vienna Konzerthaus or the Vienna Musikverein.

Since 2017, Judith Fliedl has been a member of the Trio Artio, which she co-founded and which served as the first “Featured Ensemble” of Jeunesse Austria in the 2019/20 season. The trio were prize-winners of the international chamber music competition “Massimiliano Antonelli”, and has performed in Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Italy, as well as at the Festival Musical Montreaux-Vevey, the Quincena Festival San Sebastian and the Mozart Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus.

As a Resident Member of Klangforum Wien, she is dedicated to the constant expansion of her chamber music and solo modern repertoire. In the process, she has worked with composers Beat Furrer, Georg Friedrich Haas, Johannes Maria Staud, Bernhard Gander, Johanna Doderer and Peter Ablinger. An important part of her work is researching and creating new, interdisciplinary concert formats. In the context of an artistic-research doctorate at the University of Arts Graz, Judith Fliedl is dedicated to exploring new concert possibilities for contemporary solo violin repertoire. https://judithfliedl.com
