About
Praised for her "enchanting musical personality" (De Volkskrant), Dutch violinist Tosca Opdam has captivated audiences and critics alike with her luminously elegant performances, musical intelligence and a gift for storytelling that surpasses mere virtuosity. Tosca won First Prize in the 2011 Oskar Back Violin Competition. She subsequently performed at the Royal Concertgebouw and returned for a sold-out debut recital – lauded by The Huffington Post as "at times bold and regal, other times poignant and tender; at all times rendered gorgeously" – and a performance in honour of the re-opening of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. Her 2015 performance as part of the Liberation Day Concert on the Amstel River, with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima in attendance, was broadcast live on Dutch national television. Other live broadcast performances include broadcasts on NPO Radio 4, WQXR (New York), Podium Witteman (Netherlands).
Tosca Opdam made her recital debut at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in June 2018 performing a programme that included the world-premiere of Robin de Raaff's North Atlantic Light, dedicated to Ms Opdam and inspired by the Willem de Kooning painting of the same name. In May 2019 she premiered the work's orchestral version with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Concertgebouw, led by Marc Albrecht.
Recent and upcoming highlights include a performance of Bartók's Violin Concerto no.2 with the Sudwestdeutsche Philharmonie Konstanz under the baton of Annedore Neufeld, recitals at the main hall of De Doelen, Rotterdam, Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall, the Hong Kong Generation Next Music Festival, as well as the lead role in a programme dedicated to Mendelssohn year 2022, including his Concerto for violin, piano and string orchestra alongside his Octet.
