Judith Fliedl, the Austrian-born violinist, has distinguished herself in recent years as a concertmaster, soloist and chamber musician. She has performed internationally in the USA, Canada, Korea, England, Germany, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, France and many other countries. In addition to engagements at renowned festivals such as the Salzburg Festival, the Windsor Festival, the Oxford Chamber Music Festival, the Pablo Casals Festival, the Maribor Festival, the Aurora Festival, the Musiktage Mondsee and the Impuls Festival Graz, she can be heard regularly at Austria’s most important venues, such as the Vienna Konzerthaus or the Vienna Musikverein. Since 2017, Judith Fliedl has been a member of the Trio Artio, which she co-founded and which served as the first “Featured Ensemble” of Jeunesse Austria in the 2019/20 season. As prize-winners of the international chamber music competition “Massimiliano Antonelli”, the ensemble has received funding from the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Foundation and at “Le Dimore del Quartetto”, among others.
In the 2021/22 season, the trio performed in Austria, France, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Italy, as well as at the Festival Musical Montreaux-Vevey, the Quincena Festival San Sebastian and the Mozart Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus. A great passion in her musical activity is contemporary music. As a Resident Member of Klangforum Wien, she is dedicated to the constant expansion of her chamber music and solo modern repertoire.

In the process, she has already been in lively exchange with composers such as Beat Furrer, Georg Friedrich Haas, Johannes Maria Staud, Bernhard Gander, Johanna Doderer and Peter Ablinger. An important part of her work is researching and creating new, interdisciplinary concert formats. In the context of an artistic-research doctorate at the University of Arts Graz, Judith Fliedl is dedicated to exploring new concert possibilities with a focus on contemporary solo violin literature. After studies with Igor Ozim and Pierre Amoyal at the Mozarteum Salzburg and further training at the Royal College of Music and Trinity College of Music in London, she completed her Master’s degree with Priya Mitchell. At the MDW Judith Fliedl studied chamber music with Johannes Meissl and Stefan Mendl. As part of her postgraduate studies at Klangforum Wien, Judith was supported in the form of the residency scholarship. She received further musical impulses from Pavel Vernikov, Leonidas Kavakos, Eberhard Feltz, Stephanie Gonley, Sophie Schafleitner and Heinrich Schiff, among others. Judith Fliedl has won several prizes at national and international competitions such as: A. e V. Marcosig, Gianluca Compochiario, Brahms Competition and Lions Competition and the Manhattan International Competition.
In 2023, Judith was awarded the Start Scholarship for Music and Art by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts and Culture.
In 2025-2026 Judith was chosen to be a soloist in the NASOM programme in the field of contemporary music.
