Konzertverein Chur: Ilva Eigus and Rafael Lipstein

The press celebrates both artists as extraordinary talents and particularly emphasizes their virtuoso technique as well as their remarkable stage presence, and when Ilva Eigus (17) talks about her violin, not only do her eyes light up, but her body also moves to a fine beat that is inaudible to others. "It's beautiful, she opens up more with every concert," Eigus enthuses.

"She" refers to the more than 300-year-old Stradivarius that the Zurich native brings with her in her violin case. The Stradivari Foundation Habisreutinger has made the important instrument available for several years.
