Andrés Gabetta

Andrés Gabetta is regarded as one of the most promising baroque violinists of his generation. The French-Argentinean musician with Russian roots started studying the instrument at the age of four in his native Argentina and then pursued an education at the prestigious Escuela de Música Superior Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, completing his studies at the Musikhochschule and Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. His extensive repertoire ranges from modern and romantic played together with the Sinfonieorchester Basel to baroque and classical performed on period instruments. In 2011 the violin virtuoso made a lifelong dream come true: to lead his own baroque orchestra together with his sister and cellist Sol Gabetta.
