German violin virtuoso Antje Weithaas is acclaimed worldwide for her musical insight and technical mastery. Recently named the OPUS Klassik 2025 “Instrumentalist of the Year”, her distinguished career spans over three decades, launched by First Prizes at the Kreisler, Bach Leipzig, and Joseph Joachim Hannover Competitions. Beyond the stage, she is a dedicated mentor who has shaped a generation of leading violinists, including Paganini winner Ning Feng and Joachim winner Seiji Okamoto.

In March 2027, Weithaas makes her Hong Kong debut with one of the supreme achievements of the violin repertoire: J.S. Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas, performed in a single three-hour evening. Globally revered for her recordings of these works, she offers Hong Kong audiences a rare chance to experience a tour de force that reveals the violin in its most intimate and transcendent form.

德國小提琴大師維特哈絲被譽為當今樂壇最具權威與影響力的小提琴家之一，以深刻的音樂洞見及無懈可擊的技巧享譽國際。她於 2025 年榮獲德國 OPUS Klassik「年度器樂演奏家」大獎，早年更接連摘下克萊斯勒、萊比錫巴赫及漢諾威姚阿幸等國際大賽冠軍，自此展開逾三十載的輝煌演奏生涯。除活躍於世界頂尖舞台，她亦是備受尊崇的教育家，門下名家輩出，包括帕格尼尼大賽冠軍寧峰，以及姚阿幸大賽冠軍岡本誠司。

2027 年 3 月，她將於橫跨三小時的獨奏會中呈獻巴赫《無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲與組曲》這部被譽為小提琴藝術巔峰的曠世鉅作。維特哈絲灌錄的巴赫全集素來備受全球樂迷推崇，而這場難得的香港首演，觀眾得以親炙她的完整詮釋，在浩瀚的巴赫宇宙中，細味作品歷久彌新的光彩。
