Sebastian Bohren
Violinist Sebastian Bohren has performed widely as a soloist and chamber player. As a solo player, he has recorded for Sony Classical, RCA Red Seal, Avie, and other labels.
Bohren was born in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 1987. He studied with Jens Lohmann at the Kunst- und Sport-Gymnasium Rämibühl and went on to the Zurich University of the Arts, where his teachers were Robert Zimansky and Zakhar Bron. Bohren took further studies at the Musikhochschule Luzern with Igor Karsko and at the Munich University of Music and the Performing Arts with Ingolf Turban, and he attended master classes with such violinists as Giuliano Carmignola, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, and Shmuel Ashkenasi. He received support from the Marguerite Meister Foundation Scholarship in 2007 and the Curt Dienemann Music Award and the Carl Hirschmann Foundation Scholarship in 2011. In 2012, he co-founded the Stradivari Quartet, remaining with that group until 2020. His recording debut came with the Stradivari Quartet in 2015, on a recording of Mozart's "Prussian" quartets on the Solo Musica label. His solo debut, in a performance of Ignace Joseph Pleyel's Violin Concerto in F major, came later that year on the Sony Classical label.
Bohren has performed across Europe and as far afield as South America and East Asia, appearing as a concerto soloist with the St. Petersburg State Academic Cappella, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and NDR Radiophilharmonie, among other ensembles. With the Stradivari Quartet, he toured China, appearing with the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, the Guiyang Symphony Orchestra, and also with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. His repertory ranges from Mozart to Peter Eötvös, and he has performed many world premieres. Bohren moved to RCA Red Seal in 2016 for the album Equal, featuring concertos by Beethoven, Schumann, and Jean Françaix; on that release, he performed and conducted the CHAARTS Chamber Orchestra. After several more albums on Sony and RCA, he moved to Avie in 2021, releasing an album of Mozart violin concertos. He followed that up in 2022 with the album La Folia, exploring the ramifications of that pattern in Baroque music. That year, the Swiss Violin School Foundation honored Bohren with its Golden Bow award. Bohren is the artistic director of Stretta Concerts in Brugg, Switzerland.
