Mo Yi von Bülow

Professor of violin Mo-Yi von Bülow’s artistic training began at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and continued at the Musikhochschule Lübeck, the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg, the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Munich, and the Conservatoire Supérieur in Paris. Her repertoire ranges from the Baroque period to contemporary music. Baroque music in particular holds an important place in her artistic and pedagogical work, and its diversity and expressive power have long been a source of fascination and inspiration for her. As a soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster, Mo-Yi has performed on numerous international stages. For many years, she was principal player with The Danish Sinfonietta and remains closely associated with the orchestra as a guest concertmaster. Mo-Yi’s career as an educator began at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and led her, via the Musikhochschule Lübeck, to professorships at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg, where she continues to teach as a professor. She regularly gives masterclasses in a number of countries. Among her many distinctions in violin, Baroque violin, and chamber music are the Possehl Music Prize Lübeck, the Förderpreis der Münchner Konzertgesellschaft, Treffen Alte Musik at the Musikinstrumenten-Museum Berlin, the International Telemann Competition Magdeburg, the Maria Canals International Music Competition Barcelona, the International Joseph Haydn Chamber Music Competition Vienna, and the Julie Friisholm Memorial Grant.
