Esther Hoppe
Violinist Esther Hoppe is noted equally as a soloist, chamber music player, and educator. Her career was launched when she won first prize at the International Mozart Violin Competition in Salzburg, Austria, in 2002.
Hoppe was born in Zug, Switzerland, on March 4, 1978. She studied at the Music Academy of Basel with Thomas Füri and then went on to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where her principal teachers were Robert Mann and Ida Kavafian. She did further work in London at the Guildhall School of Music with Yfrah Neaman and in Zurich with Nora Chastain. Hoppe's International Mozart Violin Competition prize was followed by others as part of the Tecchler Trio, which she founded, including the International ARD-Competition in Munich in 2007. From 2009 to 2013, Hoppe served as first concertmaster of the Munich Chamber Orchestra. Her recording debut came in 2013 with the Tecchler Trio on the album Tobias PM Schneid: New Works. Hoppe's solo debut appeared the following year; she joined pianist Alasdair Beatson for an album of violin-and-piano works by Mozart and Stravinsky on the Claves label.
Hoppe has toured Europe, the U.S., Japan, and India, appearing in such major halls as Wigmore Hall in London, the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, the Wiener Konzerthaus, and Salamanca Hall in Gifu, Japan. An enthusiastic chamber player, she has collaborated with top players, including fortepianist Ronald Brautigam, cellist Christian Poltéra, and the Auryn Quartett. Hoppe has worked closely with the Swiss Chamber Soloists as a regular guest and has often collaborated with composer and oboist Heinz Holliger. Committed to contemporary music, she has performed world premieres by Holliger, Harrison Birtwistle, and Elliott Carter, among others. Hoppe is a frequent guest at festivals, especially in Switzerland and Austria. Hoppe and Beatson recorded several more albums for Claves, and in 2022, she released an album of Bach's partitas and sonatas for solo violin on that label. Since 2013, she has been professor of violin at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
