On March 17, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, an evergreen figure in the music world, will return to the National Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall with her old partner Lambert Okins, marking the 36th time the two artists have collaborated. At the beginning of the year, string classics by Mozart, Schubert, Clara Schumann and Respighi were presented. Tickets for this concert will go on sale at 10:00 a.m. on March 6.
Anne-Sophie Mutter was born in Rheinfelden, Germany on June 29, 1963. She won the German Youth Violin Competition at the age of 7. Entering the international music scene at the age of 13, he met conductor Karajan, who was 55 years his senior, and began a stage collaboration that lasted for more than ten years. So far, Ms. Mutter has completed the world premiere of 31 works, all of which were performed by Thomas Adès, Chen Yinshu, Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutier, Sophia Gubaidulina, Victoria Told Lutoslawski, Norbert Morey, Christopher Penderecki, Sir Andre Previn, Wolfgang Rihm, Jörg Widmann And famous composers such as John Williams composed specially for her.
Mutter's performance not only has the strict and precise style of the "German-Austrian music school", but also has a dazzling and strong personality after being skilled in technique. "My curiosity about music is endless." While studying classical masterpieces, Mutter also pays great attention to contemporary works. Every time she performs, she brings a breathtaking listening experience to the audience.
In 2024, Ms. Mutter will perform in Asia, Europe and North America, once again reflecting the violinist's diverse musical talents and highlighting her lofty status in the classical music world. At these concerts she will perform many pieces written especially for her and performed for the first time in many countries. In March, Ms. Mutter toured Asia, performing works by Mozart, Respighi, Schubert and Clara Schumann. The two outstanding musicians will also perform these works in Europe later this year.
