Julia Wawrowska

Julia Wawrowskaviolist

„Julia Wawrowska showed why the viola is coming out the shadows more resplendently than ever. Her instrument had a lovely nut-brown sound, and she her gracefulness with it made one forget that some consider it 'unwieldy’. Her triumph in the final movement of Schumann’s Märchenbilder, Op.113 was exhilarating”

Laurence Vittes „Seen and Heard International”

„Her playing is characterised by an unconditional commitment, she puts everything on the line in her performance. This unconditionality unfolds an enormous power and stands for itself.”

Felix Baumann, Composer, professor at ZHdK
