Franziska Strohmayr performs as a soloist and chamber musician at international festivals such as the Salzburg Biennale, Musikfest ION Nuremberg, the Carl Orff Festival, the BachZeit Festival Mondsee and “Toujours Mozart” of the German Mozart Society. For her artistic work she has been awarded the Cultural Fund Prize of the City of Salzburg and was named “Newcomer of the Year” by the PRO SALZBURG Foundation.

Born in Augsburg, she graduated with distinction from the University Mozarteum Salzburg, where she studied with Martin Mumelter, and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London under Jacqueline Ross. A close artistic collaboration links her to composer Wilfried Hiller, who has dedicated several works to her, published by Schott Music.

With innovative touring concepts such as the “Kulturbiathlon – With Violin and Bicycle,” in which she covers all tour distances by bike, and interdisciplinary projects combining music with acrobatics, light art, and performance, she expands the traditional concert format, taking on both artistic direction and organizational responsibilities. She also gives project management workshops for musicians and teaches at the University Mozarteum Salzburg.

Her recordings are released on the TYXart label and her own label, Leni Records, including the complete works for solo violin and violin & piano by Wilfried Hiller, as well as solo works by H.I.F. Biber, G.P. Telemann, and J.S. Bach. Franziska Strohmayr plays a violin by Antonio Gragnani (Livorno, 1759) and holds a PhD in musicology – a combination of artistic passion and academic depth that shapes her work.
