Linus Roth

From an early age Linus Roth immersed himself in violin studies, entering the tutelage of Nicolas Chumachenco at Freiburg’s Music Academy upon turning twelve. Additional training brought him to Lübeck for work with Zakhar Bron, after which he collaborated with Ana Chumachenco in Zürich and Munich. Salvatore Accardo, Miriam Fried, and Josef Rissin left a lasting imprint on his playing, while a scholarship awarded by Anne-Sophie Mutter’s foundation enabled him to finish his formal education. He has appeared as concerto soloist with the Stuttgart State Opera Orchestra, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra della Toscana, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Further orchestral engagements include the Bruckner Orchester Linz, the Orquesta de Cordoba, the Bern Symphony Orchestra, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, and the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, among many others. Chamber-music partnerships have united him with Nicolas Altstaedt, Julius Berger, Gautier Capuçon, Kim Kashkashian, Albrecht Mayer, Nils Mönkemeyer, Jan Vogler, and his regular accompanist José Gallardo. Roth serves as professor of violin at the Leopold-Mozart-Zentrum of the University of Augsburg. His recordings have been released on Challenge Classics, CPO, and EMI Classics.
