Violine
Biography:
The violinist Bettina Boller has distinguished herself as an idiosyncratic and expressive musical personality since her childhood. She completed her training with Ulrich Lehmann in Bern (soloist diploma with distinction). Further studies with ltzhak Perlman and Masao Kawasaki in New York.
Bettina Boller has made a name for herself with her commitment to music of the 20th century and has brought numerous Swiss works to international attention. With the director Adrian Marthaler, she realized five music visualizations, some of which won awards, including Bach and Mozart concertos with their own cadenzas and Ravel's Tzigane.
Together with her duo partner Walter Prossnitz, she mainly takes on composers outside the usual repertoire (Reger, Hindemith, Schoeck, Lekeu, Furtwangler, etc.). She is particularly interested in contemporary music: Bettina Boller is a member of the Collegium Novum Zurich and founded the Absolut Trio in 2003 with pianist Stefka Perifanova and cellist Imke Frank, which commissions themed compositions every year and has international concerts.
Another important concern of Bettina Boller is teaching music to children. She has conceived and realized several projects with orchestras, most recently Peer Gynt for children aged six and over.
