Simone Lamsma
Violin
Hailed for her "brilliant… polished, expressive and intense" (Cleveland Plain Dealer) and "absolutely stunning" (Chicago Tribune) playing, 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, Simone has been the guest of many of the world's leading orchestras such as New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and many others.
In 2019, Simone was made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London, an honour limited to 300 former Academy students, and awarded to those musicians who have distinguished themselves within the profession.
Simone Lamsma plays the 1703 'Aurora ex-Foulis' Stradivarius, on generous loan to her by a benefactor.
