Isobel Cordone

Isobel Cordone is an Irish-Italian violinist and poly-instrumentalist, who began studying the violin at the age of three at the Young European Strings School of Music in Dublin, under the guidance of Maria Kelemen.

From an early age she began to be active in both orchestra and chamber music groups and in later years performed in duos, trios and quartets, winning several national prizes. With Young European Strings Chamber Orchestra she played concerts in numerous European countries and recorder two CDs.
At the age of fifteen she was admitted to the Conservatoire of Vicenza as a gifted student, and began her specialisation of early music studies with Fabio Missaggia where, through many masterclasses and performances, she had the opportunity to develop as a soloist and in ensembles.
Having already obtained a diploma in violin from the ABRSM she gained a bachelor degree in baroque violin for which she was awarded a bursary for the highest final mark, and two years later she graduated with her masters degree with a final mark of 110 out of 110 Magna Cum Laude and a thesis on the interpretation of music from the early 17th Century.
She has won awards for her affinity and interpretative skills for early music and has performed as a soloist and as leader of numerous ensembles.
