Fenella Humphreys

With playing described in the press as ‘unforgettable’ and ‘a wonder’, violinist Fenella Humphreys enjoys a busy career combining chamber music and solo work.   She has broadcast for the BBC, Classic FM, and German, Canadian, Australian and Korean radio and TV.   A champion of new and unknown music, a number of eminent British composers have written works for Fenella.  During 2014/15 she premiered a set of 6 new solo violin works by leading British composers including Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Sally Beamish and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, with performances at Aldeburgh, The Forge, and St. Magnus and Presteigne Festivals as well as a 2-CD recording for Champs Hill.   The first of these discs was released in August 2015 to critical acclaim, and was chosen by BBC Music Magazine as October's Instrumental disc of the month with a 5 Star review.  Concertmaster of the Deutsche Kammerakademie, Fenella also enjoys guest leading and directing.  Fenella’s teachers have included Sidney Griller CBE, Itzhak Rashkovsky, Ida Bieler and David Takeno, studying at the Purcell School, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Robert-Schumann-Hochschule in Düsseldorf graduating with the highest attainable marks.   Fenella plays a beautiful violin from the circle of Peter Guarneri of Venice, kindly on loan from Jonathan Sparey.
