JAROSLAV SONSKY
was born in Czechoslovakia and began playing violin at the age of 7. He later studied at the Conservatory and at the Academy of Music in Prague with Prof. Alexander Plocek. After his diploma exam he did military service as a violin soloist. This meant travels around in the country and a larger amount of concert for an audience of soldiers during one year. 1975 he moved to Sweden and took part in master courses for Prof. Semyon Snitkovsky from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow (prof. Snitkovsky was a pupil of David Oistrach).
J. Sonsky engaged himself intensively in performing solo and chamber music concerts. He was a member of the EPOS-TRIO which was actively involved internationally. He has performed in many countries in Europe - Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, The Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Greece and Rumania. He has also performed several times in Canada and has given concerts in Japan and Kenya.
He has made recordings with the Swedish Radio in Stockholm, Süddeutsche Rundfunk, Südwestfunk, Radio Athens, Radio Bucharest, Radio Vancouver and CBC.
Jaroslav Sonsky was invited as guest Professor for six months to teach the violin and chamber music at the Music School of Brandon University in Canada. He has performed at many festivals both as soloist and as a chamber musician. Last year he performed at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival together with the Polish Chamber Philharmonic. He then played the Mendelssohn Concerto for violin, piano and strings in D minor.
He has been always highly praised for his musicality, "slavonic sound" and sensitive ensemble playing.
