HarrisonParrott Signs Violinist Leonhard Baumgartner 

Baumgartner has joined HarrisonParrott’s roster for worldwide general management with immediate effect

 

The 17-year-old rising star Leonhard Baumgartner has signed with the HarrisonParrott artist management agency, where he will be represented by Sabine Frank and Julie Helgeland Davidsen. 

Born in 2007 in Vienna, Baumgartner won acclaim through his wins this year at the Eurovision Young Musicians Competition, making his debut with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Eivind Aadland, and at the 2024 Osaka International Music Competition, where he won the First Prize, Grand Prix, and Audience Award. 

Since his debut performance with Wiener Symphoniker at the age of 15, he has performed solo with ensembles including the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic, Berlin Baroque Soloists, and Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn. 

Among his accolades also include first prizes at the Ilona Fehér International Violin Competition, Zhuhai International Mozart Competition, plus the Carl Flesch Prize in Baden-Baden, and the Discovery Award at ICMA International Classical Music Awards. 

Recently, he recorded Mozart’s newly rediscovered Ganz Kleine Nachtmusik for Deutsche Grammophon and Stage+ alongside Margarita Pochebut, Svenja Dose, and Oscar Jockel.

Baumgartner’s upcoming projects include appearances with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, Wiener Kammerorchester, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and Zagreb Philharmonic, among others. 

Currently, he is studying with Dora Schwarzberg at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Further studies with Ingolf Turban at the University for Music and Theatre Munich, earlier with Regina Brandstaetter at KUG. Leonhard is a scholar of the Music Academy Liechtenstein and performs regularly in concerts with the Liechtenstein Symphony Orchestra and Ensemble Esperanza. His studies are supported by the Nina Gscheider and Florian Schwarz Scholarship from the Stretton Society. 

Baumgartner plays on a 1683 “ex Petherick” violin crafted by Antonio Stradivari in Cremona — generously on loan by a member of the Stretton Society.
