Rosanne Philippens is recognized as an extraordinary communicator with innate musicality and an infectiously joyful yet sincere approach to music-making. Her playing is refined, exuberant and profound, and was described by the Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf as “energetic, sensitive and flawless.” She performs widely across Europe with a particular focus on twentieth-century concertos. A strong believer in breaking down barriers in classical music, she is the founder of The Amsterdam Salon, which presents high-quality concerts in Amsterdam in carefully chosen and unusual locations, in an intimate salon atmosphere. Rosanne Philippens began her studies at an early age at the Amstelveen Music School. She pursued training at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin. Philippens won first prizes at the Dutch National Violin Competition in 2009 and the Freiburg International Violin Competition in 2014.
