Karl Stobbe
violin

As a concertmaster, soloist, or chamber musician, Karl Stobbe is recognized as one of Canada’s most accomplished and diverse violinists, noted for his generous, rich sound and long, poignant phrasing. Avie Records’ 2014 recording of Karl performing Ysaÿe’s Solo Violin Sonatas was nominated for a JUNO Award and received worldwide attention, including London’s Sunday Times who called Karl “a master soloist, recalling the golden age of violin playing... producing a breathtaking range of tone colours.” He has performed in North America’s most famous concert halls and has shared the stage with some of the most important and eclectic violinists of our day, from James Ehnes to Mark O’Connor.
