Let the Music unite the World.
Anne-Sophie Mutter regards music not only as an artistic expression, but also as a unifying force between people and cultures. As a world-renowned violinist, she is at home on all the great stages of the world – and uses her international presence to advocate for humanitarian causes.
Through benefit concerts and social projects, she supports, among others, relief efforts for Ukraine and organizations such as Save the Children. Her work demonstrates that music can build bridges, give hope, and unite people across borders.

HELLO
WORLD
Endlich konnte ich im TV über mein neues Love Project “The Seasons” reden ❤️🎶 Danke ans NDR. Der Beitrag ist jetzt in der NDR Talk Show-Mediathek zu sehen! Siehe Link in meiner Story.

Auf der Neonatologie des Universitätsspitals Zürich habe ich erlebt, wie Musik einen ganz besonderen Raum schaffen kann für die kleinsten und verletzlichsten Patientinnen und Patienten, aber auch für ihre Eltern.
Gemeinsam mit Dr. Friederike Haslbeck und Prof. Dirk Bassler durfte ich mehr über die Arbeit mit Frühgeborenen und ihren Familien erfahren. Und ich durfte einmal mehr spüren, wie viel Kraft Musik gerade dort entfalten kann, wo das Leben ganz am Anfang steht.
Die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse dazu sind beeindruckend. Eine umfassende Cochrane-Review von Haslbeck und Kolleg:innen zeigt Vorteile von Musik- und Stimminterventionen bei Frühgeborenen, unter anderem im Bereich der Herzfrequenz und physiologischen Stabilität.
Besonders beeindruckend finde ich die Erkenntnisse zur Wirkung auf das kindliche Gehirn: „Musik und Singen, die in feinfühliger Interaktion zwischen Therapeut:in, Baby und Eltern live entstehen, verändern das Gehirn dieser Kinder nachhaltig.“ Weiter wird dort mit Bezug auf die Forschung von Haslbeck und Kolleg:innen beschrieben: „Die Kreative Musiktherapie stärkt die Vernetzung der Hirnregionen, die für Kognition, Hören, Feinmotorik und die emotional-soziale Verarbeitung zuständig sind.“
Auch die Eltern werden dabei nicht vergessen. Eine Frühgeburt bedeutet für Familien häufig eine enorme emotionale Belastung. Musiktherapie kann ihnen helfen, trotz Angst und Unsicherheit wieder Momente der Nähe und Verbindung mit ihrem Kind zu erleben.
Vielleicht ist das eine der schönsten Aufgaben meiner Geige: nicht nur in großen Konzertsälen zu erklingen, sondern auch dort, wo ein kleines Leben seinen eigenen Rhythmus sucht. 🎻
Die Arbeit von Frau Dr. Haslbeck empfinde ich als tief berührend und zutiefst inspirierend. Ich hoffe sehr, dass dieses Beispiel über Zürich hinaus Aufmerksamkeit findet und auch international aufgegriffen wird. Wenn Sie diese wichtige Arbeit unterstützen möchten, können Sie mit Ihrer Spende dazu beitragen, Musiktherapie für Frühgeborene und ihre Familien zu ermöglichen:

Tonight, I have the privilege of making music for a cause that is very close to my heart:
Music has the extraordinary power to bring people together, to offer hope, and to make a difference (sciences proves!). I am grateful to share this evening with the wonderful musicians of the #OrchesterderOperZurich @operzuerich and conductor @linitaconductor, in support of @amiamusica and premature babies and their families.
Thank you to everyone who joins us and believes in the power of music to create something meaningful beyond the concert hall.
#AnneSophieMutter #BenefitConcert
The Munich Philharmonic, with their fabulous new Chief Conductor Lahav Shani, was absolutely mind-blowing in Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and deeply moving in Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms.
What a "Sternstunde"! ✨
My city, Munich, feels invigorated and once again, the unifying power of music proved profoundly enriching. What a gift to have such world-class musicians right here among us!
And then… the goddess Martha Argerich! She was simply out of this world in Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major.
A truly unforgettable evening. ❤️🎶
#annesophiemutter
What a magnificent Second Concerto with this out-of-this-world orchestra and the wonderful conductor @manfredhoneck. I couldn’t have been happier to play my beloved "Metamorphosen" by Krzysztof Penderecki again.
The audience was incredibly attentive and seemed to truly appreciate sharing this very special evening with us. I’m already hugely looking forward to being back in Cologne!
But now it’s time to prepare for my world premieres - coming up in 2027 - as well as the wonderful benefit concert in Zurich next month.
I’ll keep you all posted!❤️

What my gallery looks like after my trip to Lucerne📹🎞️
Since its world premiere in June 1995, Penderecki’s "Metamorphosen" has been my most treasured violin concerto. It was created and subsequently studied by me during the most difficult and heartbreaking period of my life.
My beloved husband and father of our two children was diagnosed with lung cancer. He passed away in August 1995.
"Metamorphosen" became a lifeline - a transformative musical experience. Obviously a masterpiece! Totally separate from my personal history. I am beyond grateful that Maestro Penderecki wrote in toto 4 fab pieces for me.
For now it is time to celebrate my amazing colleagues of the @pghsymphony. Such commitment, such depth, beauty, drama, heart. @manfredhoneck is bringing this all together! Truly extraordinary. Come and listen to us in Cologne on Sunday.

What a special day celebrating music, young artists and the future of string playing❤️
Today, I had the great joy of presenting the Aida Stucki Prize 2026 to @eliasdavidmoncado in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the canon of young violin soloists. His deeply felt musicality and extraordinary virtuosity make him a truly exceptional artist, and I am incredibly proud to see him receive this honour.
The afternoon was also a celebration of new music, with two world premieres commissioned by the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation:
“Jeogori” for solo violin by @texu_kim, performed by @yeeunchoi_violin.
&
“Kinderszenen” for string quartet by Yie-Eun Chun, performed by Elias David Moncado, David Tobin, @_hwyl_ and @lionelmartin_info.
Moments like these remind me why the Foundation means so much to me. For almost 30 years, it has been about giving young musicians the opportunities, instruments, commissions and support they need to grow and to shape the musical world of tomorrow.
I could not be more proud of what this journey has become and, above all, of the extraordinary young artists at its heart.
#annesophiemutter
Almost 30 years! My foundation has given 13 commissions, acquired 8 instruments, nurtured 30 scholars, and many more string players from around the world. Music is what makes the world go round, makes life worth living. It is, after all, a form of love.
