About Dominika

Beare’s International Violin Society Artist, the “delightful” (The Strad) and “stylish and virtuosic” (Bachtrack) Dominika Fehér enjoys a career fuelled by curiosity and a search for meaning. An annual guest at the BBC Proms, she has been broadcast live as a soloist on BBC Radio 3 and performs across Europe and beyond.

 

Born into a musical family, Dominika trained in the renowned Hungarian/Russian violin school before specialising in historically informed performance from the 17th to early 20th centuries. This led her to explore period-authentic interpretations, such as performing the salon version of Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier on gut strings, as musicians of the time would have done. With her string quartet, the Revolutionary Drawing Room, she performed all of Beethoven’s late quartets during the pandemic, sharing in some of the struggles of the composer.

 

As a member of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, English Baroque Soloists, and Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s Springhead Constellation Choir and Orchestra—alongside guest appearances with leading early music ensembles—Dominika has shared the stage with artists including Sir Roger Norrington, Sir András Schiff, and Nicola Benedetti. She has performed at major international venues, from Carnegie Hall and La Scala to the Concertgebouw, Musikverein, and London’s Royal Opera House, Wigmore Hall, and Royal Albert Hall, as well as Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts.

 

Her discography includes recordings for Signum Classics, Resonus Classics, Convivium Records, and SDG Records, with sessions at Abbey Road Studios. She plays a 1704 baroque violin by Rogeri, loaned through Beare’s International Violin Society, and a Grancino violin for romantic and modern repertoire, generously provided by a private sponsor.

 

Dominika’s solo repertoire spans from Heinrich Biber and J.S. Bach to Johannes Brahms and Astor Piazzolla. More recently, she has explored directing from the violin without a conductor—most notably in a Mozart symphonic programme—as well as conducting, making her debut in early 2025.

 

Her ensemble, Logos Musica, was born from a continual search for artistic and philosophical depth. Formed with long-time collaborators, the group takes its name from the rhetorical principle central to baroque interpretation—referring to “an eternal and unchanging truth present from the time of creation, available to every individual who seeks it.”
