Judith Fliedl is a violinist based in Vienna and is regarded as one of the most versatile Austrian violinists of her generation. Her artistic focus lies in the close interrelation of solo performance and chamber music, an exceptional breadth of repertoire—from classical literature to contemporary music—and artistic research. A multiple prizewinner of national and international competitions, she has established herself in recent years particularly in the field of contemporary music, both as a soloist and in a wide range of ensemble constellations. Her concert activity has taken her to the United States, Canada, Korea, Japan, England, Norway, France, Germany, and numerous other European countries. She has appeared at renowned festivals including the Salzburg Festival, Vienna Festival Weeks, Oxford Chamber Music Festival, Windsor Festival, Pablo Casals Festival, Maribor Festival, Aurora Festival, Musiktage Mondsee, Carinthian Summer, and impuls Festival Graz. She also performs regularly at Austria’s major venues, such as the Vienna Konzerthaus and the Musikverein Vienna.
“And thus the interpretation became a performance of the purest physical mastery. Judith Fliedl and her violin are one – this is a violinist from whom we will hear much more.” - — mica Austria / impuls Festival Graz
“The way Fliedl guided the bow with the utmost sensitivity, shaping almost every note individually, was sensational.”
— Horst Hacker / Memminger Zeitung

A central focus of her artistic work is chamber music. Since 2017, Judith Fliedl has been a member of the co-founded Trio Artio, which was selected as Jeunesse Austria’s first-ever “Featured Ensemble” in the 2019/20 season and subsequently represented Austria internationally as part of the New Austrian Sound of Music (NASOM) program. From 2023 to 2026, Judith Fliedl was a resident member of the Klangforum Wien. In the 2025/26 season, she will appear as a soloist in the NASOM program with a focus on contemporary music at national and international festivals, including Wien Modern, ZeitGenuss Karlsruhe, Music Current Dublin, the MuTh Vienna, and the Carinthian Summer Festival. Alongside her artistic career, Judith Fliedl has been working since autumn 2023 as Junior Researcher at the Centre for Artistic Research (CEAR) of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG). Her research and teaching focus on new concert and performance formats, with particular emphasis on interaction, presence, and audience involvement in contemporary music. A key component of her work is the development of new interdisciplinary concert formats that rethink and expand traditional performance situations. Since August 2026, she has been a member of the Advisory Board for Prizes and Grants of the City of Vienna. Judith Fliedl studied violin and chamber music with Igor Ozim and Pierre Amoyal at the Mozarteum Salzburg, as well as at the Royal College of Music and Trinity College of Music in London. Further studies took her to the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where she specialized in chamber music. A formative stage of her artistic development was her postgraduate residency at Klangforum Wien, supported through a residency scholarship. Additional artistic impulses came from, among others, Pavel Vernikov, Leonidas Kavakos, Eberhard Feltz, Ernst Kovacic, Sophie Schafleitner, and Heinrich Schiff. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Reate Competition for New Music, A. e V. Marcosig Competition, Gianluca Campochiaro Competition, Manhattan International Competition, Brahms Competition, and Lions Competition. In 2023, she received the Start Scholarship for Music and the Arts from the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture; in 2024, she was awarded the Best Practice Award of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz for the interim presentation of her research.
