As “Delfi” informs the organizers of the festival from VSIA “Latvijas Koncerti”, the musicians have selected four Mozart sonatas for this chamber music concert.
“Mozart’s violin sonatas gladly allowed to experiment, offering the most unimaginable combinations of character and image. In addition to the works composed in Vienna, the program includes Mozart’s only minor sonata written in Paris and dedicated to his mother, which will be balanced by one of the last sonatas with a strong polyphony,”
Vineta Sareika says: “My first musical memories are of Mozart’s Allegretto, which I played at Sloka Church. Mozart is the calling card of every musician. In his chamber music, I see the characters in the opera – happy and vital, as well as dramatic and vulnerable, but all true. . “
This year, “Muso” has released Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s violin album, recorded by Vineta Sareika and Amandine Savari. These are three sonatas – in Famažor KV 376, in Solmažor KV379 and in Lamažor KV 526. The musicians’ think tank started in the chamber ensemble “Trio Dali”, which was successful in competitions and was also praised by critics. The two musicians have also recorded Edward Grieg’s violin album together.
Vineta Sareika’s international career began on a large scale after she won the Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition in 2009. Sareika is invited to collaborate with outstanding orchestras – London Philharmonia Orchestra, Belgian National Orchestra, Royal Flemish Orchestra, Lisbon Philharmonic Orchestra, Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, London Chamber Orchestra. She has collaborated with conductors Andris Nelson, Paul Goodwin, Gilbert Varg, Jean-Bernard Pomerania and Gerard Cornsten. Vineta Sareika has performed in famous concert halls – the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Sydney Concert Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington, the Vigmore Hall in London and the Isumi Hall in Osaka. She has also been the concertmaster of the violin group of the Royal Flemish Orchestra.
In 2010, Vineta Sareika won the Latvian Grand Music Award in the category “For Outstanding Interpretation” for the performance of Antonio Vivaldi’s “Seasons”. In 2009, Latvijas Radio 3 “Klasika” named him “Instrumentalist of the Year”. She has also received an award from the Latvian Ministry of Culture.
Since 2012, Vineta Sareika has been the first violin of the world-famous Artemis Quartet. With the quartet, winner of many international awards, she not only performs in the world’s most important concert halls, but also creates her own special concert series at the Berlin Philharmonic. The Artemis Quartet is also home to artists from the Vienna Concert Hall and teachers at the Berlin University of the Arts. Their recordings are released exclusively by Warner Classics.
Vineta Sareika is Professor of Violin and Chamber Music in the Chamber Music Class of the Berlin University of the Arts and in the Queen Elizabeth Music Chapel in Brussels. She has given masterclasses at the Sydney and Melbourne Conservatories, the Royal Academy of Music in London, Vanderbilt University of Nashville, the Jerusalem Music Center and the Wakersheim International Chamber Music Course.
Vineta Sareika plays the violin of Antonio Stradivarius (1683), which was given to her by the Rujieri Foundation.
