[This text has been translated electronically] Tabea Zimmermann is one of the leading violists of our time. Known for her interpretations of solo and chamber music works from various eras, as well as premieres of contemporary works, she inspired composers such as Heinz Hollinger and Wolfgang Rihm to write for the viola. She has received several awards for her outstanding musical achievements, including the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize in 2020. She also works regularly with major orchestras, including as artist in residence with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and in the current 2020/21 season with the Berliner Philharmonikern.
