Ellinor D’Melon was born to Cuban parents in Jamaica and started to learn the violin at the age of two. Today, she is ‘one of those rare players who gives the impression that her command – both technical and musical – is total’ (Michael Dervan, The Irish Times). Classic FM’s ‘Rising Star of 2023’ and prize winner of major competitions including the Henryk Wieniawski (1st Prize), ‘Debut Berlin’ (1st Prize) and Novosibirsk (1st Prize and special awards), Ellinor is forging a career as a violinist of the highest standing.
Highlights of the 2026/27 season include concerts with the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra, Norrlandsoperan Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica Illes Balears, Göttinger Symphonieorchester and the Orquesta Sinfonica de la Region de Murcia (OSRM).
She’ll be working with conductors including Dominic Limburg, Michal Nesterowicz, Lorenzo Passerini, Daniel Geiss and Samuel Lee.
