About the Event

A dazzling performance by violinist Janine Jansen with the Camerata Salzburg, featuring Bach and Mendelssohn. Dutch violinist Janine Jansen is one of the most celebrated artists of her instrument. She moves and inspires audiences worldwide with her passionate music‐making and stupendous technique. Now the virtuoso and likeable star violinist finally makes her debut at the Music Festival. She is joined by her musical partner, the Camerata Salzburg – a collaboration that both consider a unique stroke of luck. This spirit is likely to be carried through to the interpretation of Mendelssohn's famous E minor Violin Concerto, the melodically flowing beginning of which Jansen describes as “pure beauty”. The Camerata Salzburg then turns to another of the composer's milestones: the “Reformation Symphony”, written to mark the 300th anniversary of the “Augsburg Confession”. The program is rounded off with Ricercare a 6 by Bach, the grandmaster of the Baroque, whose rediscovery was championed by none other than Mendelssohn.

Program

  • Johann Sebastian Bach – Ricercare a 6 (Musical Offering, BWV 1079)
  • Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy – Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
  • Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy – Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 107 'Reformation'
Program is subject to change

Born into a musical family, Dutch violinist Janine Jansen began the study of the music at the tender age of 6. She is internationally recognized today as a top violinist, and a truly exciting and versatile artist.

Ms. Jansen performed her London debut in November of 2002 with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Vladimir Ashkenazy. This was quickly followed by further invitations from many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras. She has recorded both chamber and solo concerts to great acclaim. When performing live Ms Jansen is known to be sometimes rather adventurous with emphasis on emotional accents. Ms. Jansen Jansen currently performs on the 1727 Stradivari 'Barrere' violin.
