Praised by the Strad Magazine for her “magical simplicity” and described as a true

“aristocrat” of the violin by La Libre, Júlia Pusker came to international prominence

for her prizewinning performances at the prestigious 2019 Queen Elisabeth Violin

Competition in Brussels.  

Recent highlights include concerto appearances with Belgian National Orchestra,

Brussels Philharmonic, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Franz Liszt Chamber

Orchestra, Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and London Mozart Players.  

Júlia has been selected for the Rising Stars programme of the European Concert

Hall Organisation (ECHO) for the 2023-24 season, when she will perform solo

recitals in some of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls. These include Casa da

Música Porto, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Festspielhaus

Baden-Baden, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Konserthuset Stockholm, Philharmonie

Cologne, Sage Gateshead, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées Paris, Wiener

Konzerthaus, and Müpa Budapest, to name just a few.  

She has already given recitals and taken part in festivals and masterclasses across  

Europe, including the Besançon Music Festival, IMS Prussia Cove, the Holland

International Music Sessions, the Kronberg Academy and the Santander Festival

Academy.  

As a chamber musician, Júlia has shared the stage and collaborated with artists

such as Kristóf Baráti, Frank Braley, Gautier Capuçon, Gary Hoffman, Tommaso

Lonquich, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and István Várdai.  

Alongside her success at the Queen Elizabeth Competition, Pusker has been a

recipient of various notable prizes, such as the renowned Junior Prima Prize and

Cziffra Festival Prize, which honour Hungary’s finest young musicians.  

Her most recent recordings include Eric Tanguy’s 2nd Violin Concerto with Jyväskylä

Sinfonia under the baton of Ville Matvejeff for the Ondine label, and her solo album

with Zoltán Fejérvári entitled ‘Schubert on Violin’ for Hungaroton.  

Born into a family of musicians in Hungary, Júlia began her musical education at the

Liszt Academy in Budapest before moving to England to study with György Pauk at

the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she received her Master of Music

degree with distinction in 2016. Between 2016 and 2021, she was Artist-in-

Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Brussels, working with Augustin

Dumay.
