Janine Jansen

Biography (read more)

Janine Jansen was born on 7 January 1978 and began violin studies at age six, later studying with Coosje Wijzenbeek, Philippe Hirschhorn, and Boris Belkin. She competed in the Menuhin Competition in 1991 and 1993, reaching the finals in 1991, and went on to perform the Brahms Violin Concerto with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland in 2001, opening the BBC Proms in 2005.

Jansen has performed to sold-out audiences at venues including Berlin’s Waldbühne and the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and has released widely acclaimed recordings of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and works by Bach, Beethoven, and Britten, often on Stradivari instruments. She has received the Dutch Music Prize (2003), the Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumentalist Award (2009), and the Johannes Vermeer Award (2018), and founded a chamber music festival in Utrecht.
