Alexander Balanescu (Violin)
‘A Journey with my Violin’
A journey with my violin, a musical adventure, telling the story of my life through the violin, my voice, my being.
Music by JS Bach, Michael Nyman, Alexander Balanescu.
Romanian born Alexander Balanescu is a prolific composer as well as one of the most visionary and exciting violinists of all time. Leader of the Balanescu String Quartet which he established in 1987, he was instrumental in transforming the string quartet into a musical entity at the heart of the rejuvenation of new music. As a composer he has drawn inspirations from his collaborations, including many dance companies and the RSC and the Globe Theatre. He has been awarded the Gopo prize for the best film soundtrack three times – in 2007 for How I Spent the End of the World (dir. Catalin Mitulescu), 2016 for The Magic Mountain (dir. Anca Damian) and 2023 for The Island (dir. Anca Damian).
All proceeds go to refugee relief.
