  • Biography Tabea Zimmermann, Who Considers Herself “A Musician Who
    Biography Tabea Zimmermann, who considers herself “a musician who plays the viola”, is one of the most beloved and renowned artists of our time. As artist in residence of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra for the 2019/20 season and of the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2020/2021 – Tabea Zimmermann is widely acknowledged for her unfailingly high standards and tireless enthusiasm for sharing her love of music with audiences. Fellow musicians and listeners alike value her charismatic personality and deep musical understanding. Her work with orchestras is also guided by the ideals of her experience as a chamber musician, where artistic integrity is paramount. As a soloist, she regularly works with the world’s most prominent orchestras such as the Orchestre de Paris, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. In recent seasons, she has held residencies in Weimar, Luxembourg and Hamburg, as well as with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and with the Frankfurt Museum Society; she likewise maintains her close collaboration with Ensemble Resonanz, where she was artist-in-residence for two years. In addition to the residency with the Berliner Philharmoniker, highlights of the 2020 /2021 season included the opening concert of the Wien Modern Festival with the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna conducted by Leo Hussain (premiering Enno Poppe’s Filz), performances of York Höller’s specially written Concerto for Viola and Orchestra at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam with the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest conducted by Ingo Metzmacher, and a tour of Brahm’s Sextets together with the Belcea Quartet and Jean-Guihen Queyras. Tabea Zimmermann has inspired many contemporary composers to write for the viola and thereby introduced numerous new works into the concert and chamber music repertoire.
