As a soloist, Janine Jansen considers it her main task “to speak from the heart”.  For all the hard work that goes before, her goal when she walks onto the stage is to be able to live in the moment.  The Dutch violinist is the Berliner Philharmoniker's Artist in Residence this season. Together with the orchestra’s chief conductor, she will perform Brahms’s immense and vehement Violin Concerto, while with Sir Simon Rattle she plays Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, a work that she describes as inhabiting “a world of magic”.

To mark the beginning of her residency, we spoke with Janine Jansen. She talked about the freedom that she feels on the podium, about playing for family celebrations, and about the changing priorities in her life.
