Lena Neudauer

Lena Neudauer started playing the violin when she was three years old. At the age of eleven she entered the class of Helmut Zehetmair at the Salzburg Mozarteum, and went on to study with Christoph Poppen and Thomas Zehetmair. When she was fifteen, she scored a spectacular triumph at the Leopold Mozart Competition in Augsburg, winning not only First Prize, but almost all the Special Prizes. In 2010, on the Hänssler Classic label, she released her first CD, featuring Schumann, which received the International Classical Music Award (ICMA). CDs by Mozart concertos, chamber music by Ravel and Mendelssohn followed. On an international scale, she has appeared in festivals and performed with conductors of the likes of Dennis Russell Davies, Mariss Jansons, Reinhard Goebel, and Bruno Weil.
In 2010, at the young age of 26, Lena Neudauer was named Professor of Violin at the Saar University of Music. In 2016 she took up a professorship at the Munich University of Music and Theater.
