Veronika Eberle was born in 1988 in Donauwörth, Southern Germany, where she started violin lessons at the age of six. Four years later she became a junior student at the Richard Strauss Konservatorium in Munich, with Olga Voitova. After studying privately with Christoph Poppen for a year, she joined the Hochschule in Munich, where she has been studying with Ana Chumachenco since 2001.

Since giving her concerto debut at the age of 10 (Münchener Symphoniker), she has appeared with some of Germany’s finest orchestras. Most recently she was introduced to a packed Festpielhaus at the Salzburg Easter Festival, in a performance of the Beethoven concerto with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle. Other recent concerto engagements include the NDR Hamburg, Rundfunksinfonieorchester Berlin, Hessischer Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt (Paavo Järvi), Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart and Bamberger Symphoniker (Jonathan Nott). Internationally, she has just given her debuts in the US (Aspen Festival Orchestra), Sweden (Gävle Symphony), the UK (Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra), and has appeared in Milan with the Orchestra Sinfonica Giuseppe Verdi (Yakov Kreizberg), as well as on tour in Moscow with the Bamberger Symphoniker.

In recent years Veronika has also appeared at some of Europe’s most distinguished festivals, including Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Salzburg Osterfestspiele, Beethovenfest Bonn, Classix Festival Brauschweig, Musikfestspiele Dresden, Dortmund “Next Generation”, Heimbach. Her chamber music partners include Lars Vogt, Christian Tetzlaff, Antje Weithaas, Tatjana Masurenko, Gustav Rivinius and Julia Fischer.

Her exceptional talent, the poise and maturity of her musicianship have been recognised by a number of prestigious organisations, including the Borletti-Buitoni Trust (who awarded her a Fellowship in February 2008), the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben Hamburg and the Jürgen-Ponto Stiftung Frankfurt. She won the first prize at the 2003 Yfrah Neaman International Competition in Mainz, and was awarded Audience Awards by the patrons of the Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festivals.
