Biography
Roxana Wisniewska comes from a family that has been making music professionally for four generations. She experienced her violin-playing parents’ passion for the profession at an early age. So it was only natural for her to learn to play the violin. Especially because she loves the instrument’s wide range of colours and nuances. She received her first lessons from her grandfather and mother, with whom she gave her first public solo performance at the age of 14. She later studied in Madrid at the Centro Superior Katarina Gurska under Zohrab Tadevosyan, at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía under Ana Chumachenco, and at the Dresden College of Music under Natasche Prischepenko. She also attended masterclasses given by Maurizio Fuks, Zakhar Bron, Daniel Stabrawa and others.
Roxana Wisniewska was a member of the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester from 2017 to 2018. “During that time, I realised that making music in a large ensemble fulfils me the most.” As a Staatskapelle Berlin academy student and as a scholarship holder at the Karajan Academy of the Berliner Philharmoniker, she was able to gain valuable experience for her career as an orchestral musician. Her training at the Karajan Academy gave the violinist “the most intense, enjoyable and rewarding moments of my musical studies. The lessons with the members of the Berliner Philharmoniker opened up new horizons for me”. Since March 2023, the musician, who enjoys cooking, reading books and travelling in her free time, has been playing in the 1st violin section of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
