Franziska Hölscher

Violin

Violinist Franziska Hölscher is one of the most versatile young musicians on today’s international music scene.
As a soloist, chamber musician, and festival director, she has been invited and often returns to perform at distinguished venues including the Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and the Rudolfinum in Prague.
She makes appearances at the Ansbach Bach Festival, the Schleswig- Holstein Music Festival, at the Schwetzinger SWR Festspiele, the Kissinger Sommer, the Rheingau Music Festival, and the Heidelberger Frühling Festival.
Franziska Hölscher is passionately committed to the compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries. The world premiere of Wolfgang Rihm's Concertino for Violin and Strings is one example of many. At the same time, she regularly draws a bow to baroque compositions, which she repeatedly gives fresh interpretations with her sense for the new. The latter can be experienced in collaboration with the recorder player Dorothee Oberlinger.
Musical collaborations with outstanding colleagues always formed an integral part of her podium repertoire since the onset of her career. She counts Kit Armstrong, Martin Helmchen, Nils Mönkemeyer, Maximilian Hornung, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Benjamin Appl among her chamber music partners.
Franziska Hölscher also shared an intensive artistic collaboration with renowned German author Roger Willemsen. Various programmes that Franziska Hölscher presents with pianist Marianna Shirinyan, together with actresses Maria Schrader or Katja Riemann, are based on his work.
Franziska Hölscher is the artistic director of the chamber music series ‘Klangbrücken’ at Konzerthaus Berlin, which she launched with Severin von Eckardstein in 2014. Together with Kit Armstrong, she took over the artistic direction of the Musiktage Feldafing in 2021.She has been Artistic Director of the ‘Fränkischer Sommer’ music festival since 2022.
