Tabea Zimmermann
Tabea Zimmermann studied at the Musikhochschule Freiburg and with Sandor Vegh at the Mozarteum Salzburg. Following her studies, she received several awards at international competitions, amongst them first prizes at the 1982 Geneva International Competition, the 1983 Maurice Vieux Competition in Paris and the 1984 Budapest International Competition. As a soloist she has worked with the most renowned orchestras, such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Israel Phiharmonic as well as the Orchestre de Paris and recorded the core repertoire for viola.
Performing contemporary pieces is an essential part of her artistic work. Among the works composed for her are the Sonata for Solo Viola by Ligeti and the viola concertos by Sally Beamish, Wolfgang Rihm and Heinz Holliger. As a chamber musician she regularly collaborates with well-known partners, such as Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Hartmut Höll, Christian Tetzlaff as well as with the Arcanto Quartet, which was founded in 2002.
Tabea Zimmermann held teaching posts at the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken and Hochschule für Musik Frankfurt, and has been a professor at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin since October 2002. She is married to the American conductor Steven Sloane and has three children.
