Edith Cnockaert

Born in Huizingen, Belgium, in 2002. Belgo-German violinist who currently studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with professors Philippe Graffin and Erik Sluys. She made her debut as a soloist at the age of nine and she has gained plenty of on-stage experience since then. Edith loves exploring different styles and formations in the chamber music domain. Her interpreting style is characterised by the interdisciplinary nature of music, its history, and her inspiration in other art forms like dance, literature, and painting. Masterclasses by Miriam Fried, Zakhar Bron, Boris Kuschnir, and Shlomo Mintz, among others, have had a great impact on her playing style. She plays a Gand & Bernardel Frères violin (Paris, 1877).
