Violine
Lieke te Winkel, Professor of Violin at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna since 2011, began her musical education with Kees Koelmans in Zwolle, Netherlands. At the age of sixteen she won the International Locatelli Concours, and in 1999 the National Violin Concours Oskar Back. After studying in Freiburg with Rainer Kussmaul and with Vesko Eschkenazy in Amsterdam, she moved to Vienna. There, Gerhard Schulz had a lasting influence on her artistic development. In 2007, while she was still studying in Vienna, she was hired as concertmaster of the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria and in 2014 she became the first concertmaster of this orchestra. As a soloist, Lieke te Winkel has worked with conductors such as Shlomo Mintz, Thomas Hengelbrock, Nicholas Milton, Daniele Callegari and Aziz Shokhakimov. In chamber music performances at the Salzburg Festival, the Styriarte, the Warsaw Autumn, the Accademia Gustav Mahler, the International Music Seminar Prussia Cove and the Biennale di Venezia, among others, she has performed with artists such as Sir Roger Norrington, Wolfram Christ, Noam Greenberg, Dmitri Sitkovetsky, Antoine Tamestit, the Camerata Salzburg and the Klangforum Wien.
