Go behind the scenes with Italian-American violinist Francesca Dego, who is celebrated for her versatility, compelling interpretations, and flawless technique. 

Francesca’s 2025/26 season includes concerto debuts with Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Dortmunder Philharmoniker and Enescu Philharmonic, and she returns to Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony, Richmond Symphony, and Teatro Carlo Felice Orchestra. Francesca will be resident at Wigmore Hall in the 2026-27 season where she will perform in chamber music and in recital with world premieres of two new works composed especially for her.

Francesca also has a passion for contemporary music and in 2025 she created the ambitious project ‘Feathers in time’, which commissions ten of the most important living Italian composers to write solo violin works for her inspired by the poetry of her father, the late Italian poet Giuliano Dego.
