Christoph Eschenbach has described the rising German violinist, Oscar Bohórquez, as ‘one of the most promising young violinists. His splendid technique, his musical profoundness and his charisma are very special.’ 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 Aaron Rosand, and at the University of Music in Vienna with Günter Pichler of the Alban Berg Quartet. 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. Solo and chamber music activities have also taken him throughout Europe, the US, and Latin America including the ‘Musica em Trancoso’ Festival in Brazil, the Kronberg Festival and Hamburg Chamber Music Festival in Germany. Alongside his brother, the cellist Claudio Bohórquez, and pianist Gustavo Beytelmann, Oscar has formed the Patagonia Express Trio, who recorded together an Album including works by Piazzolla, Ellington and Beytelmann. This Album has been released on the BerlinClassics Label on January 29, 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.
