ANNA GÖCKEL, Violin
French violinist Anna Göckel has garnered international attention as a sophisticated and versatile artist, consistently praised for her refinement, intelligent musicianship and expressivity.
Awarded by the French-Grammy “Révélations classiques de l’ADAMI” (2016), and the SACEM’s “Enesco Prize” (2020), she immerses herself in a wide-ranging musical repertoire from Baroque to contemporary works.
She has appeared as a soloist in Europe, the US and South America and is also deeply committed to chamber music. Winner of the ARD Competition in Munich with the Karénine Trio, she is currently first violinist with the Aviv Quartet.
Anna Göckel has been regularly invited by Jonathan Biss and Mitsuko Ushida to the Marlboro Music Festival (USA), and by Steven Isserlis to the Open Chamber Music sessions of Prussia Cove (UK). She will be on tour with both programs this year, debuting at Carnegie Hall and returning to Wigmore Hall.
Having studied with the Ysaÿe Quartet, David Grimal, Boris Belkin, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Anna Göckel found deep inspiration in masterclasses with Miriam Fried, Georgy Kurtag, Ferenc Rados, Donald Weilerstein.
Anna’s complete recording of Bach’s Six Sonatas and Partitas released by NoMadMusic was awarded the “Coup de cœur Classica.”
Invested in the art of pedagogy, Anna Göckel teaches at the Conservatoire Populaire de Genève and the Haute Ecole de Musique de Sion. She is Artistic Director of the summer Festival “Le Vent sur l’Arbre” in Burgundy, France.
Thanks to support from the Fonds de dotation Lenoir, Anna Göckel plays on a 1786 Nicolò Gagliano violin.
