ISKANDAR WIDJAJA

"One of the most exciting violinists on the international Fiddle-circuit." - Arte

The "complexity of his style, his musical imagination with the most diverse sound nuances and facets as well as his flawless technique and great charisma" (Christoph Eschenbach) distinguish him as a fascinating artistic personality with his own profile. The son of Arab-Dutch as well as Chinese-Indonesian parents cannot be pigeonholed.
In his second home Indonesia he is perceived as a "pop" phenomenon, his media presence there has already resulted in a "trending topic" status (most frequently mentioned term) on twitter©.

Last season saw CD releases on SONY Classical with the Vienna RSO, recital debuts in Zurich with Fazil Say and debuts with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra and Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra.
