About Simone Lamsma
Dutch violinist Simone Lamsma is respected by critics, peers and audiences as one of classical music's most striking and captivating musical personalities. With an extensive repertoire of over 60 Violin Concertos, Simone's recent seasons have seen her perform with many of the world's leading orchestras.
In November 2018, Simone made her highly successful debut with the New York Philharmonic under Jaap van Zweden. Other highlights include debuts with the Detroit Symphony, Gürzenich-Orchester Köln, Sydney Symphony, and returns to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Warsaw Philharmonic, RTE National Symphony, and Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo. Her recent recital appearances include debuts in London's Wigmore Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall. In May 2018, Simone was invited by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima of The Netherlands to perform during their official state visit to Luxembourg.
Simone's most recent recording featuring Shostakovich's first violin concerto and Gubaidulina's 'In Tempus praesens' with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic under James Gaffigan and Reinbert de Leeuw was released on Challenge Classics in 2017 and received high accolades from the press.
Simone plays the "Mlynarski" Stradivarius (1718), on generous loan to her by an anonymous benefactor.
