Caroline Adomeit , violin
In a programme of Bach: Partita No. 1 in B minor
Caroline Adomeit was born into an English-German family of musicians and studied with Prof. Herman Krebbers, Prof. Kolja Blacher and Prof. Ingolf Turban. She holds an artists diploma with distinction and a postgraduate concert diploma (Soloist diploma) from the music college in Munich, Germany.
Her wide ranging repertoire includes more than 300 compositions and more than 90 with orchestra. As well as the standard violin repertoire, Caroline loves to arrange music ranging from jazz, film, folk to pop. Caroline`s great interest is to bring classical music to the general public and she greatly enjoys writing and performing virtuoso arrangements of jazz pieces, tangos, musicals and encore pieces but also enjoys transcribing classical pieces. Her concert series “BACH TO TANGO” in which she combined the Partitas by J. S. Bach with dances from over 300 years ending in a tango led to her first album as a student “BACH TO TANGO” which received a fantastic review by “THE STRAD”. In 2017 sheet music of piano pieces transcribed for violin and piano by Caroline herself was published by Edition Antes.
Caroline has given many recitals and concerts in Germany, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Holland, France and Great Britain. She has appeared with Daniel Hope and has been featured on both radio and television in Germany and France. Her Debut CD “Bach To Jazz” was chosen by Naxos as ‘Highlight of the month’ and was awarded ‘the Blue Moon’ Award (Canada). Her latest CD “VISIONS” (Thorofon) was released in August 2017 and has received many excellent reviews. Caroline has won many prizes in national and international competitions such as the International Yfrah Neaman Competition, and is the youngest prizewinner in the Mozart Society Competition in Mannheim. In 2014 she received the ‘Lichtenberger Musikpreis’.
Caroline is an innovative musician who connects with audiences on many levels: her social media presence allows her to engage with over 185,000 classical music lovers and students worldwide. She conceived and realized concerts in Germany in which the public chose from over 50 pieces during the evening to create their own programme. Inspired by feedback from her social media followers this concept is intended to break down the wall between performers of classical music and their audiences. In this form of concert the audience plays a real active part and communication is key to the success of the performance.
