May 5, 2000

Polish violinist Mira Marton spent ten years at specialised music schools in Poland before winning a place at the Yehudi Menuhin School under the tutelage of Lutsia Ibragimova. She won a full scholarship to the Royal College of Music and graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Music Honours degree. Mira is currently studying for a Master’’ degree with Radu Blidar at the same institution. She is also generously supported by the Munster Musical Trust and the Zetland Foundation.
She has performed in major venues around the world, including the Royal Albert Hall, Berliner Philharmoniker, Musikverein Wien, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall. Her performance of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto with Sinfonia Tamesa was described by Robert Matthew-Walker in Musical Opinion magazine as “fresh and life enhancing as when it was first heard”.
