Lea Brückner Violin

Lea Brückner lives musical diversity and does not believe in the profile of a 21st-century artist who exclusively focuses on music, detached from societal developments. She was born in 1997 to German-Czech parents. She studied a Bachelor’s degree with Prof. Emile Cantor at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and finished a Master’s degree with Summa cum Laude in March 2023.

She attended masterclasses with Bohuslav Matousek, Boris Garlitsky, Tanja Becker-Bender, Erik Schumann, Julia Fischer, and Aleksey Igudesman, among others.

A key characteristic of the young violinist is her continuous new ideas to support or even develop new social projects.

In 2021, Lea founded the initiative “Music for our Planet,” with which she, together with other artists advocates for more sustainability in the music industry. Since then, invitations as a speaker and musician have taken her to the German parliament in Berlin, the world fair “Classical:Next,” or the World Food Forum of the United Nations and in front the Pope's deputy, not only to perform but also to speak as a climate ambassador about the necessity of climate protection and sustainability in culture. In this context, she is also the moderator for the unique concert series “Green Monday” at the Tonhalle in Düsseldorf for the 2023/2024 season.

For 2024, she is the Ambassador of the "Nicola Benedetti" Foundation. Additionally, she won the "Larsen-GEWA-Scholarship" and is collaborating with "Larsen Strings" and "GEWA" in 2024.
