My name is Stella Zake, born in Riga, Latvia and I am part of a family of musicians. Since an early age I knew that my passion is violin playing and it hasn't change until today.
Love for music brought me to Amsterdam to continue my studies in Conservatorium van Amsterdam with proffesor Ilya Grubert. In 2018, I was frequently asked to join Amsterdam Sinfonietta as well as became member of Helikon Quartet. The most important aspect of violin playing for me is to connect to audience and deliver the musical idea in the most honest way. Now with a Raffaele e Antonio Gagliano violin I can discover countles colors and expressions, seeking for inspiration and hoping to inspire others.
