Judith Steenbrink

Judith Steenbrink is passionate about baroque music. After her studies with, among others, Alda Stuurop and Lucy van Dael, she enjoyed tours with the European Union Baroque Orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen, and Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. Between 2014 and 2022, she served as the concertmaster for Christina Pluhar’s ensemble l’Arpeggiata. She co-founded Holland Baroque with her twin sister Tineke Steenbrink, where she has found her home as part of the artistic team and concertmaster. Judith plays a violin built in 1622 in Cremona by the Amati brothers. “It’s so special. The instrument knows the way to the repertoire; this violin was there when this music was first played. I follow where this instrument leads me!” Judith Steenbrink is a teacher at the International Summer Academy in Alden Biesen and the initiator and artistic director of the summer festival ‘Batenburg Baroque.’
