Since winning the 2016 International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition at the age of 20, Veriko Tchumburidze has built a reputation as a captivating soloist, chamber musician and recording artist. »She is a breath of future«, said Andrzej Wituski, the competition’s director. »She brings us closer to the world of her own imagination.« Andante, Turkey’s leading classical music magazine named her the country’s Best Emerging Musician.

Born into a Georgian family in Adana, southern Turkey, Veriko Tchumburidze initially trained at Mersin University State Conservatory. In 2010 she started to study at the music university in Vienna. Between 2015–2022, she studied at Prof. Ana Chumachenko’s class in Munich and since then continues her second master’s degree studies in chamber music at the Munich music university.

Tchumburidze has appeared with the Warsaw Philarmonic Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony, Lahti Symphony, Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, Musikkollegium Winterthur, as well as the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. She has collaborated with such conductors as Michael Sanderling and Marek Janowski. Her festival engagements have included the Rosendal Festival and Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, performing with, among others, Leif Ove Andsnes, Lisa Batiashvili, Sol Gabetta, Quatuor Ebène, Maxim Vengerov and Tabea Zimmermann.

As a keen exponent of chamber music, she partners in recital with Pianists Ketevan Sepashvili and Mamikon Nakhapetov and was formerly a member of Trio Arte. Since 2022, she is a member of Trio Vecando.

Veriko Tchumburidze recorded Anton Wranitzky’s Violin Concerto in C for Sony Classical with the Munich Chamber Orchestra and conductor Howard Griffiths. Her recording of John Williams’ music for the film »Schindler’s List« with the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt led to a headlining appearance at the opening concert of the 2016 Zurich Film Festival.

Since 2016 Veriko Tchumburidze has played a Giambattista Guadagnini violin, made in Milan in 1756 and generously loaned by Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben.
