Tunis,Tunisiaonlinenews, July 24, 2009- Born in 1988, the Tunisian violin virtuoso Yasmine Azaiez has an impressive musical career behind her; however the best is yet to come for Yasmine, who studied for 11 years at the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin school in London after starting the violin with Mrs Helen Brunner, her American coach.
Recently, she took part in the “Music and Solidarity” concert given by the Vienna Opera Ball orchestra at the El Jem open air Roman theatre, whose proceedings went to the Tunisian Solidarity Fund.
In El Jem, Yasmine Azaiez performed Beethoven’s Romance op.40 in G major. She is considered as one of the world’s most promising violin players and has given performances in the US, the United Kingdom, Austria, Dubai, China and the Sultanate of Oman.
However, her fondness for the violin does not prevent her from being an accomplished painter during the little spare time she has, felicitously mixing abstract and figurative painting.
Azaiez is also gifted with a crystalline voice and does not refrain from singing in public when the need arises. In spite of her long training in classical music, the 20 year old Tunisian sensation also has a taste for gypsy music as well as for jazz.
When she is not practising on her violin, Yasmine Azaiez, likes to eat out and go to discos. She also admits a liking for Tunisian couscous, as well as for silver jewellery.
Incidentally, it is in Tunisia that she replenishes her energy and composes her own musical partitions.
For the Tunisian virtuoso the future certainly looks very bright. In 2010 she will play in musical events in Beirut, Muscat and Rome where she is invited by the Nova Amadeus Orchestra. She will also perform in Tunisia at the International Music Congress.
In Tunisia, Yasmine Azaiez has one wish, to perform with Lotfi Bouchnak, another Tunisian singer whose melodies have also travelled worldwide
