IsabelC Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Who, in your opinion, are the best female violinists performing today? (classical, not people like Lindsey Stirling - who is very cool and fun but not the best role model for technique) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Well, that Hilary Hahn isn't too shabby. ;) I like Erin Keefe who is concertmaster for the MN orchestra too. We have lots of excellent performing female violinists local to us. My dd and I both play, but not professionally. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbird2 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Oh and Janine Jansen We just saw her in concert...what a performance!! My dd watches her on youtube when she is done practicing for the day. She has declared that she wants to be Janine when she grows up! I have to remind her when she is practicing to tone down the hair flying and facial expressions...she's not Janine just yet. :) Not sure if I'm allowed to link youtube videos here, but watch her perform Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor. It's breathtaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I am partial to Hilary because she grew up just a few minutes from where I live. Same modest little community that produced Michael Phelps, strangely enough. There is a youtube video out there of her around the age of 12 playing Bach's Chaconne. She had just amazing presence and technique even so you. I think she went to Curtis when she was about that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
