Biography
Child prodigy violinist Augustin Hadelich was born in Cecina, Italy, on April 4, 1984, to German parents. Raised in a family of music lovers, he followed in the footsteps of his older brothers, learning the violin from the age of five with his father, then studying with teachers Bruto Ughi, Christoph Poppen, Igor Ozim and Norbert Brainin. Burned in a fire on the family farm, he was treated in Germany before resuming his musical training at the Mascagni Institute in Livorno (Italy) and being admitted to the Juilliard School in New York, where he graduated in 2007. Winner of the gold medal at the 2006 Indianapolis International Competition, Augustin Hadelich performed on major American stages with leading orchestras, and began recording for the Naxos and Avie Records labels. After his first recital, Flying Solo (2009), the violinist recorded Echoes of Paris with pianist Robert Kulek (2011), and Histoire du Tango with guitarist Pablo Sáinz-Villegas (2013). Augustin Hadelich followed those releases with performances of great concertos including the works of Sibelius (with Hannu Lintu) in 2014, Mendelssohn and Bartók (with Miguel Harth-Bedoya) in 2015, Tchaikovsky (with Vasily Petrenko) in 2017 and DvoÅák (with Jakub Hrůša) in 2020. In 2021, he was nominated for a Grammy Award and awarded an Opus Klassik. His most celebrated releases include Paganini: 24 Caprices (2018), and Bach: Sonatas & Partitas (2021). After becoming an American citizen in 2014, Augustin Hadelich explored the contemporary realm with compositions by György Kurtag, Toru Takemitsu, Thomas Adès, and David Lang. Over the course of his career, he received several awards and honors including a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Classical Solo for Dutilleux's concerto L'Arbre des Songes as well as the Avery Fisher Career Grant (2009), the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship (2011), and Lincoln Center's Martin E. Segal Award (2012). In 2022, he released Recuerdos, which featured pieces by Prokofiev, Britten, Sarasate and Tarrega. On the album, the violinist was accompanied by Cristian MÄcelaru and the WDR Cologne Symphony Orchestra.
