Rodolfo Richter was trained as a modern violinist with Klaus Wusthoff and Pinchas Zuckermann and has studied composition with Hans Joachim Koellreutter and Pierre Boulez. He studied baroque violin with Monica Huggett at the Royal Academy of Music and has performed extensively with Britain’s leading period ensembles. Also in demand as a chamber musician, he has regularly collaborated in concerts and recordings with the Bach Players, Sonnerie, and Hausmusik. From 2002 to 2007 he was a member of the acclaimed Palladian Ensemble (now known as the Palladian Trio).

Richter has been invited to lead and direct many orchestras, including the Hannover Band, Harmonia Universalis, St. James Baroque, Acadelia Montis Regalis, the English Concert, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment as well as the Academy of Ancient Music. He was a prize-winner at the prestigious International Early Music Competition for Ensembles in Bruges (2000) and at the Antonio Vivaldi International Violin Competition (2001). He has recorded Vivaldi solo concertos for Opus 111, an album of sonatas by Tartini with the Palladian Trio and the first recording of the complete sonatas by Erlebach. As a soloist and chamber musician Richter has performed throughout the UK and toured extensively in Europe, USA, South America, Australia, the Middle and Far East (including such prestigious venues as London’s Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebow in Amsterdam, Konzerthaus Wien, Sidney’s City Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall and the Alice Tully Hall in New York).

In 2006 he was appointed leader of Florilegium and now he divides his chamber music commitments and recording projects with them and his work with the Palladian Trio.
