1st prize winner of the 2022 Carl Nielsen Violin International Competition and recipient of the 2022 Usedom Prize, Hans Christian Aavik “combines a probing intellect and curiosity with an extroverted charisma that has made him one of Europe’s most exciting young talents” (Bachtrack).
Already well established as a soloist at home in Estonia, Hans Christian Aavik performed Bruch’s violin concerto with the Estonian Festival Orchestra and Paavo Järvi at the 2024 Pärnu Music Festival. In 2023/24 he also curated his own concert series with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, revolving around Mozart’s five violin concertos, and performed Beethoven’s violin concerto with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra under Olari Elts. Recent international engagements have included chamber music performances at the Wigmore Hall, Köln Deutschlandfunk Kammermusiksaal and Kölner Philarmonie.
