Romina Lischka

Romina Lischka is a Belgian viola da gamba player, singer, and early music specialist known for her adventurous approach to historical repertoires and cross-genre collaborations. With a passion for breathing new life into centuries-old works, she’s built a reputation for blending scholarly rigor with theatrical flair—whether interpreting John Dowland’s melancholic lute songs, diving into Biber’s dramatic sacred works, or reimagining Shakespearean-inspired music. Her projects often bridge eras and cultures, like her exploration of Dhrupad (an ancient Indian vocal style) alongside Baroque improvisation in *Dhrupad Fantasia*.

A sought-after collaborator, Lischka frequently works with ensembles like Oltremontano and La Talúla, and her recordings reveal a knack for storytelling through music. When she’s not performing 17th-century fantasias or dissecting Renaissance parody techniques (as in her John Coprario deep dive), she teaches viola da gamba at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. Her work balances academic curiosity with playful spontaneity—perfect for fans who want their early music served with both authenticity and a twinkle of mischief.
