Rodolfo Richter associate leader
Brazilian-born Rodolfo Richter was trained as a modern violinist with Klaus Wusthoff and Pinchas Zuckermann, and has studied composition with Pierre Boulez. He studied baroque violin with Monica Huggett at the Royal Academy of Music.
Rodolfo won first prize at the Antonio Vivaldi International Violin Competition (2001). Since then he has performed as a soloist and director throughout the world, including with Academia Montis Regalis (Italy), Barokkanerne (Norway), B'Rock (Belgium), Die Kölner Akademie (Germany), Harmonia Universalis (Brazil), the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Hanover Band and The English Concert. Also in demand as a chamber musician, he has regularly collaborated in concerts and recordings with the Bach Players, Sonnerie, and Hausmusik. He combines this work with his role as associate leader of the AAM.
His recorded output is extensive, and includes music by JS Bach and Handel with the AAM. Solo recordings include an album of sonatas by Tartini and Veracini and the first recording of Erlebach’s complete sonatas. Future plans include music by Vivaldi and John Cage with B'Rock.
As a soloist and chamber musician Rodolfo has performed throughout the UK and toured extensively, appearing in venues from Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw to New York’s Carnegie Hall. He teaches baroque violin at the Royal College of Music in London.
