About
With his sensitive and expressive playing, 27 year old Swiss violinist Sebastian Bohren ranks among the most promising talents of his generation. The musician has given solo performances in the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Munich Residenz, the Tonhalle Zurich and the KKL Lucerne. He has played with orchestras such as the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Camerata Zürich, Chamber Aartists, Lucerne Chamber Orchestra, and the St. Petersburg State Orchestra. Sebastian Bohren plays a Stradivarius (King George 1710) generously lent to him by the Habisreutinger Foundation. CHAARTS – an ensemble of excellent chamber musicians and the best principal musicians from renowned Swiss orchestras such as the Tonhalle Orchestra, the Sinfonieorchester Basel or the Orchèstre de la Suisse Romande. CHAARTS perform mainly WITHOUT conductor, which means, that every musician has to be extremely attentive and concentrated when he interacts with the other musicians or with soloists. The result are extraordinary interpretations – both exciting and discreet.

Youth to the fore here, with the stylish Sebastian Bohren giving a silky account of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto...[in the Nonetto] Françaix takes the piano part and redistributes it for string quartet and double bass, while retaining the wind parts of the original. The result is refreshingly rich in colour and nuance.
