Sarah Nemtanu

Sarah Nemtanu began violin studies with her father Vladimir, principal violinist of the Orchestre National de Bordeaux Aquitaine. At the age of 21, she was named principal violist in the Orchestre National de France.  Her solo appearances with the Orchestre National de France, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Orchestra, the Santa Cecila Orchestra in Rome and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra have earned high praise, and she has performed with conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Sir Colin Davis, Valery Gergiev and Riccardo Muti in some of the world’s most prestigious venues.
Her repertoire encompasses the solo and chamber literature, and she enjoys revisiting the “classics”, as her recording Gypsic shows. She also appreciates a variety of non-classical music, as demonstrated by her performances with Richard Galliano, Chilly Gonzales, Ibrahim Maalouf, and the singer Juliette.
