Judith Ingolfsson
Violinist Judith Ingolfsson has performed in top venues in Europe and the U.S. since winning the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in 1998. Dividing her time between Berlin and Baltimore, she is also an important educator and a music editor.
Judith Ingolfsson was born in Reykjavik, Iceland, on May 13, 1973. Her father was Icelandic, and her mother was Swiss; since Ingolfsson is a patronymic and not a family name, she sometimes uses her full name, or simply the name Judith, in publicity materials. She took up the violin at age three and was performing on Icelandic state television at five. Her teacher as a child was Icelandic Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Jon Sen. The family moved to the U.S. when Judith was seven, living in various states; her teachers during this period were Guila Bustabo, Carol Glenn, and Josef Gingold. Settling in Philadelphia at 14, Judith enrolled at the Curtis Institute of Music for studies with Jascha Brodsky. She went on to the Cleveland Institute of Music, where her principal teachers were David Cerone and Donald Weilerstein. The Indianapolis gold medal marked a breakthrough for Judith, who also notched prizes at the Premio Paganini Competition in Genoa, Italy, and at the influential Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York. The U.S. National Public Radio network honored her in 1999 as Debut Artist of the Year. In 2000, she made her debut recording on the Catalpa Classics label, joined by pianist Ronald Sat in works by Bach, Henryk Wieniawski, Ned Rorem, and Ernest Bloch.
Judith Ingolfsson has appeared as a soloist with major orchestras in the U.S. and Europe, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., the Budapest Philharmonic, and the Jena Philharmonic in Germany. Recitals have taken her to Carnegie Hall in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the La Jolla Chamber Music Society in California, and the Konzerthaus in Berlin, among other venues. With her husband, pianist Vladimir Stoupel, she performs as the Ingolfsson-Stoupel Duo, which has appeared in the U.S. and Europe and has issued albums on the Audite, Accentus, and Oehms Classics labels; on the latter, the pair issued an album of duos by Rebecca Clarke in 2024. She has also collaborated with other chamber groups, including the Vogler, Avalon, and Miami String Quartets. Judith Ingolfsson joined the faculty of the Stuttgart Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Germany. She has also edited and arranged the Simon Laks' Trois Pieces de Concert for violin and piano.
