Violinist Judith Ingolfsson Receives France’s Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres

France's Minister of Culture has awarded Ingolfsson with the title of Chevalier in the French Order of Arts and Letters

 

The French Order of Arts and Letters recognizes eminent artists and creatives who have significantly furthered the arts in France and abroad, and is awarded in three rankings including Knight, Officer, and Commander. 

To receive the insignia of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, violinist Judith Ingolfsson is recognized for her extensive teaching and performance experience and invaluable contributions to the music field. 

Ingolfsson is currently a Professor of Violin at Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute and has held previous teaching appointments at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart and the University of Colorado Boulder. She also regularly conducts masterclasses at international music festivals and academies. 

Many of her students have won numerous competitions, secured Academy positions with the Konzerthaus Orchestra Berlin and the Komische Oper Berlin, and are members of orchestras such as the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, Beethoven Orchester Bonn, and Bamberger Symphoniker.

As a performer, Ingolfsson has played solo with ensembles including the Philadelphia Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Iceland Symphony Orchestra. She is also part of the Duo Ingolfsson-Stoupel with pianist Vladimir Stoupel, whose concerts and recordings notably feature lesser-known 20th-century works.

Additionally, she has served on juries for international competitions such as the Astral Artists National Auditions and the Concert Artists Guild Competition. Her discography involves 14 acclaimed and award-winning recordings. 

“Judith Ingolfsson (Violin Faculty) has been appointed to the prestigious rank ‘Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ by the Minister of Culture of France,” the Peabody Institute posted on Facebook. “This distinction is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to the cultural sphere, either through creativity or by supporting the dissemination of knowledge and works that enrich the global cultural heritage.”
