Violinist
Linus Roth began studying music early in childhood, and became a student of
Nicolas Chumachenco at the Music Academy of Freiburg at the age of 12. He pursued music studies in Lübeck, where he studied with Zakhar Bron, and later worked with
Ana Chumachenco in Zürich and Munich.
Roth was strongly influenced by
Salvatore Accardo,
Miriam Fried, and Josef Rissin, and a scholarship from
Anne-Sophie Mutter's foundation enabled him to complete his education.
Roth has performed as a concerto soloist with the Stuttgart State Opera Orchestra, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra della Toscana, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, the
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the
Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. He has also performed with the
Bruckner Orchester Linz, the Orquesta de Cordoba, the
Bern Symphony Orchestra, the
Cologne Chamber Orchestra, and the
Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, among several others. He has played chamber music with many artists, including
Nicolas Altstaedt,
Julius Berger,
Gautier Capuçon,
Kim Kashkashian,
Albrecht Mayer,
Nils Mönkemeyer,
Jan Vogler, and frequent accompanist
José Gallardo.
Roth is the professor of violin at the Leopold-Mozart-Zentrum of the University of Augsburg. He has recorded for Challenge Classics, CPO, and EMI Classics.
