Regarded as one of leading exponents of the violin on the early music scene, Leila Schayegh leads a vibrant masterclass this evening.

A captivating performer through her great expressiveness and energy, Leila’s repertoire now ranges from the beginnings of the violin literature around 1600, when the instrument was held lower down against the chest, to the high romantic period. As well as the core repertoire of Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Brahms and their contemporaries, she champions works which have been unjustly overshadowed by names which are well-known today.

Leila is in great demand at major international festivals and a regular guest leader of both early music ensembles and modern orchestras, and has performed concerts in the US, South America, Australia, Europe and Asia.
