Born in Donauwörth, this violinist has gained worldwide recognition for her exceptional talent, musical maturity and aplomb. Veronika Eberle came to international attention in 2006 at the age of 16 when Sir Simon Rattle introduced her at the Salzburg Easter Festival in a performance of Beethoven’s violin concerto with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Since then, she has worked with almost all the renowned orchestras from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to the New York Philharmonic as well as with major conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Kent Nagano, Paavo Järvi and Sir Roger Norrington. Recent concert highlights include performances with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and a tour with the London Symphony Orchestra. Her most recent chamber music projects include performances at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival with Sol Gabetta and Antoine Tamestit as well as the Schubertiade with Steven Isserlis and Connie Shih.

This season, this violinist will make her debut with the Budapest Festival Orchestra under Iván Fischer as well as with David Afkham and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, among others. Veronika Eberle also returns to London’s Wigmore Hall as Artist in Residence and performs with Sir Simon Rattle and the Symphonie Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
