Oscar Bohórquez is ‘one of the most promising young violinists. His splendid technique, his musical profoundness and his charisma are very special’ described Christoph Eschenbach, Music Director of the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin, the rising German violinist. The 20th September 2009 marked Oscar Bohórquez’s debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Oscar Bohórquez studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia with Professor Aaron Rosand from 1998 to 2002, and at the University of Music in Vienna with Professor Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet from 2002 to 2008. Since then concert tours have taken him to major venues throughout Germany such as the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, the Bonn Beethovenhalle, the Frankfurt Alte Oper, the Stuttgart Liederhalle, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, and the Berlin Philharmonie. In recent years Oscar Bohórquez appeared at the Frankfurt Alte Oper with the Museumsorchester, at the Nuremberg Meistersingerhalle with the Nuremberg symphony, as well as in numerous latinamerican concert tours of Perú, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Brazil including Bartok’s 2nd violin concerto, the Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Khatchaturian, Bruch, Brahms and Mendelssohn concertos. Solo and chamber music activities have also taken him throughout Europe, the US, and Latin America including the New York ‘Strad for lunch’ concert series, in Brazil the ‘Musica em Trancoso’ Festival, in France the Salon de Provence and Bordeaux Chamber Music Festivals, and in Germany the Kronberg, Hamburg, and Winnenden Chamber Music Festivals. Alongside his brother, the cellist Claudio Bohórquez, and pianist Gustavo Beytelmann, Oscar has formed the Patagonia Express Trio, who recorded together the ‘Tribute to Piazzolla’ Album including works by Piazzolla, Ellington and Beytelmann. This Album is expected for release in 2020. Oscar Bohórquez plays the Giovanni Battista Guadagnini ‘Grande Dame’ violin from 1770, which was previously owned by Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet, and a 1845 Dominique Peccatte violin bow.
