Cecilia Zilliacus

Cecilia Zilliacus is a renowned Swedish violinist celebrated for her vibrant and deeply expressive performances. She's a versatile artist, equally brilliant in classical repertoire and contemporary works, often championing Scandinavian composers—both historical gems like Amanda Maier and Julius Röntgen, and modern voices such as Lisa Streich. Her prolific output includes solo albums, duo collaborations with pianists like Bengt Forsberg, and leadership of the adventurous Zilliacus Quartet, blending a rich, warm tone with impeccable technique.

Beyond the concert hall, Cecilia is a dedicated educator, teaching at the Edsberg Institute of Music and frequently collaborating with living composers to expand the violin's repertoire. Her recent releases, like "Mosaïque Danoise" and "Swedish Violin Treasures," showcase her mission to explore and preserve Nordic musical heritage, while projects like "Inhabitants" reveal her curiosity for new sonic landscapes. Whether performing Brahms or cutting-edge concertos, she brings a signature passion and clarity that makes every recording a fresh discovery.
