BIOGRAPHY
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.
World Premieres.
The artist has a special interest in contemporary violin literature.
Thomas Adès, Unsuk Chin, Sebastian Currier, Aftab Darvishi, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, Sir André Previn, Wolfgang Rihm, Jörg Widmann, and John Williams have dedicated works to her.
Audio document.
With technical refinement, interpretative depth, and a distinctive sound, Anne-Sophie Mutter has recorded an extensive repertoire over the decades – ranging from classical and romantic works to contemporary compositions, many of them written especially for her. These recordings are not only musical masterpieces, but also lasting documents of an artist who has profoundly shaped the art of violin playing in our time.
Support, guide, inspire.
The Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation supports young, highly talented musicians through scholarships, mentoring, and performance opportunities.
Its mission is to foster emerging artists in a sustainable way and to pass on musical excellence to future generations.

So happy that my great composer friend from New York, @sebcurrier, made it to our premiere marathon!
He wrote a fantastic Violin Concerto (”Time Machine“) and “Ringtones“ for bass and fiddle. We just recorded this together with his stunning “Ghost Trio”.
The two composers had an absolute ball chatting.
Also, love these inspirations. Nothing beats a Sunday morning museum tour!

Totally excited about working with @maxrichtermusic and thinking with huge gratitude of the one and only John Williams.
Making music with the wonderful Maestro @manfredhoneck and the musicians of the @viennasymphony Orchestra will forever remain a truly unique memory.
Backstage impressions of me rehearsing the phenomenon Walz by John Williams.
#annesophiemutter
A premier in the making - the poetic first movement of @maxrichtermusic’s “Three Dances“.
#annesophiemutter
Congrats to the fabulous @viennasymphony Orchestra!
So much looking forward to our @johannstrauss2025 Gala with Maestro @manfredhoneck tomorrow, October 25, the very birthday of Johann Strauss ||, in the one and only Goldener Saal of the @musikverein.wien!
After today’s mega rehearsal of the two brand-new works by John Williams and @maxrichtermusic, a serious carb & sugar high was absolutely required!
2025 marks the 200th anniversary of Strauss’s birth, and Vienna celebrates under the joyful motto “Wien in Strauss und Braus.”
I feel deeply honored to premiere these beautiful new compositions written in tribute to the Waltz King. John Williams even described Strauss’ waltzes as “filmic before film existed.”
What a joy to share this special birthday and jubilee in the heart of Vienna. ❤️

The touring diary entries aren’t over yet! Munich was truly special yesterday. I’ve rarely seen the audience at the Isar Philharmonie so completely immersed in a performance.
@pabloferrandez.cellist and @yefimbronfman - what a deep joy it was to share this musical conversation with you both.
We ended the night with a fun dinner, got very little sleep (again!), and now… Paris, mon amour! ❤️ The art pieces were amazing inspiration.
P.S. I found a little reminder in my hotel room that I’m playing Beethoven tonight 😁 And here’s proof that Fima practices non-stop though he doesn’t need to! 🎻
Art pieces: Gerhardt Richter
Location: Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la Création

Came home to find someone having the time of their life in my living room... Thank God Hedwig found her way back to the garden!🦉😂

The Trio Tour Diary goes on, this time from Barcelona. We’re still glowing after last night’s concert at the stunning Palau de la Música Catalana. It’s a true jewel of light, color and sound.
Absolutely enjoyed playing Beethoven’s Archduke and Tchaikovsky’s Trio in A minor with @yefimbronfman and @pabloferrandez.cellist. We ended with Schindler’s List, which is deeply emotional. What a magical hall. What a wonderful audience. Gracias Barca!

I’m back! In this Q&A video, I’m answering some of your questions, including details about the strings and rosin I use. I also talk about what motivates me to rehearse and share a few updates on recording trio sessions. Plus, I reflect a bit on how I deal with stage anxiety. And on a more personal note, I let you in on how much sleep I usually get and what I typically have for breakfast. Wishing all of you a happy start to the autumn season🍂

(I use the Andrea version and lots of it!)
Come to our tour! For all piano trio fans: As long as there is no recording of the Archduke and Tschaikowski by us - you better join us on tour 😇

Little Capri Photo & Video Dump🙏
Monte Solaro and the famous Arco Naturale are just spectacular. Especially when you walk up from Anacapri… heightens the happiness arriving at the top for sure 😁
I met a new animal friend, who’s clearly a fan of violin music😜
Had to feature this shadow portrait because even shadows love sunsets magic. Look at this special one at Faro di Punta Carena: nature’s encore.
A must-see: The Certosa San Giacomo is an amazing space for art!
