Ula Ulijona
Ula Ulijona, who was born in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius in 1974, has spent many years as solo violist with Kremerata Baltica. She completed her viola studies with Petras Radzevicius at the Lithuanian Academy of Music before transferring to the Basel University of Music, where she studied under Professor Hatto Beyerle. As a student of Tabea Zimmermann, she finally took her concert examination at the Academy of Music Hanns Eisler Berlin. She derived further inspiration from masterclasses with Wolfram Christ.
In 2001 Ula Ulijona won second prize in the international William Primrose Competition in Chicago. Apart from numerous solo performances with famous orchestras such as the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she has demonstrated her ability in chamber music performances in partnership with Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bahmet, Boris Pergamenschikow, Heinz Holliger, Sharon Kam and the Keller Quartet. Ula Ulijona was one of the first musicians to take part in Kronberg Academy’s Chamber Music Connects the World project and has twice taught in the Mit Musik – Miteinander workshop. She has been a permanent member of the Petersen Quartet since 2008 and plays a 1722 Matteo Goffriller viola.
She plays Wednesday, 30 September, 7 pm, at Naxos-Halle Frankfurt “Dialogue with Pergolesis Stabat Mater for violincello, viola and vibraphon” – composed for Ula Ulijona and Gidon Kremer by Lera Auerbach.
