AUGUSTIN HADELICH

Augustin Hadelich is known for his virtuosic technique, insightful interpretations and beautiful tone.

Born in Italy to German parents, he studied at the Juilliard School in New York. After winning the International Violin Competition in Indianapolis in 2006 he went on to be granted an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009, a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2011, an honorary doctorate from the University of Exeter (UK) in 2011 and was named Instrumentalist of the Year by Musical America in 2018.

He has performed with the major American orchestras as well as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the Concertgebouw, London Philharmonic and NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo. Recent engagements have included the BBC Proms and the festivals in Aspen, La Jolla, Verbier, Tsinandali, Bucharest and Salzburg, with the Vienna Philharmonic.  

Another highlight was his residency at the Konzerthaus Berlin, exploring various concert formats. For the 2023/24 season opening, Hadelich performed the German premiere of Donnacha Dennehy’s Violin Concerto, composed for him, together with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin as part of the Musikfest Berlin. He was also the soloist at the season-opening concerts of the Orchestre National de France and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Important debuts have taken him to the Staatskapelle Dresden, Orchestra dell’ Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and the NDR Radiophilharmonie. Further invitations include the Barcelona Symphony, Danish National Symphony and Finnish Radio Symphony orchestras, the Netherlands Philharmonic and Brussels Philharmonic orchestras, Philharmonia Zürich and Tonkünstler-Orchester. In North America he plays with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, Orchestra of St Luke’s, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, as well as the symphony orchestras in San Francisco, St Louis, San Diego, Houston, Indianapolis, New Jersey and Vancouver. In Asia, he is a guest with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the Taiwan Philharmonic and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestras. Besides his orchestral engagements, he gives solo recitals in Italy, Germany and the USA.

In 2016 Hadelich received a Grammy award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo for his recording of Dutilleux’s violin concerto L’Arbre des songes. A recording of Paganini’s 24 Caprices was released by Warner Classics in 2018, followed in 2019 by the Brahms and Ligeti concertos. He received an Opus Klassik Award in 2021 for his recording Bohemian Tales with Dvořák’s violin concerto, recorded with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. His recording of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas was also enthusiastically received by the press and nominated for a Grammy. In his latest recording, Recuerdos, he devotes himself to works by Britten, Prokofiev and Sarasate, with the WDR Sinfonieorchester.

In June 2021 Augustin Hadelich was appointed Professor in the Practice of Violin at the Yale School of Music. He plays a violin by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù from 1744, known as ‘Leduc, ex Szeryng’, on loan from the Tarisio Trust.
