About Alina

Artistic Partner: Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

The 2026/27 season sees Alina return to the BBC Proms, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Swedish Radio Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony, Iceland Symphony, and Kammerorchester Basel at Salzburg Festival, working with conductors Karina Canellakis, Edward Gardner, Thomas Søndergård and Maxim Emelyanychev.

Alina also returns to the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra as their newest Artistic Partner, and play-directs tours and projects with the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Centre, Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Highlights of Alina's previous two seasons include concerts with Budapest Festival Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, London Philharmonic, Wiener Symphoniker, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Finnish Radio Symphony, Detroit Symphony and WDR Sinfonieorchester, collaborating with Iván Fischer, Robin Ticciati and Vladimir Jurowski.

In recital, Alina regularly performs with pianist Cédric Tiberghien and together they continue their cycle of Beethoven’s violin sonatas on period instruments at the Boulez Saal. Other chamber performances include recitals at Wigmore Hall, as well as performances with the Chiaroscuro Quartet of which Alina is a founding member.

  • Beethoven Violin Concerto with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Václav Luks

    Berlin Philharmonie
    May 2024

    • Alina Ibragimova scaled the greatest musical heights, yet in the most endearing manner. Avoiding ostentatious virtuosity, she played with a purity of intonation seldom heard, understanding like few others how to really make music with an orchestra. Rather than storming brazenly ahead, she turned to her colleagues again and again, integrating herself both audibly and visibly into the proceedings, which led to a totally natural and coherent homogeneity. This Beethoven could hardly have been more beautiful or more moving.

  • Lammermuir Festival (Debussy, Prokofiev, Pärt)

    Edinburgh

    • [Alina] brought [her] power game...with lightning-speed soot-voce runs, both bowed and pizzicato, and the querulous concluding bars to what is a deeply ambiguous work. ★★★★

  • London Philharmonic Orchestra with Ed Gardner (Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor)

    Royal Festival Hall
    May 2023

    • There was much beauty in Alina Ibragimova's swift and eloquent interpretation. ★★★★

  • London Philharmonic Orchestra with Vladimir Jurowski (Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.1)

    Royal Festival Hall
    Dec 2021

  • Salzburger Festspiele (Messian Quartour pour la fin du temps)

    Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg
    Jul 2021

    • Alina Ibragimova knows how to integrate the violin part with dazzling intensity and still summon up inner energy at the end, letting her song of praise literally float up into heaven.
