Testimonials:


Why does the world need Judith Aller’s music?

First of all, there’s no doubt, in this cool world music is needed more than ever, as to my mind music fortifies and connects people. Now why does the world need Judith’s music?

Because her playing touches her listeners deep in their souls. It’s full of rhythm, full of blues, full of life, ! It’s wonderful music, wonderfully played with incredible virtuosity. She plays healing tunes. How I love them, again and again. These tunes are passionate and modern, deep but strong. They let us feel a deep relation to the essence of being. What can we ask more? Judith’s music fortifies and connects and gives us hope, that the world is going to be a
better place.

More About Judith:

Judith Aller comes from a musical family that goes back many generations in Europe. her teachers were Jascha Heifetz and her father, piano virtuoso Victor Aller. She lived in Finland, Sweden and France, toured as soloist and recorded with the Finnish Radio Symphony and taught at Sibelius Academy.

Critically acclaimed for her recording of the Corelli “La Folia Variations,” she has received recognition in Europe and in America as a virtuoso violinist and has an established audience for her work. Ms. Aller is noted for her rare interpretive-vision of the vanishing romantic-expressionist tradition, big tone and the abundance of feeling that can be heard in her performances and recordings.

A resident of Los Angeles, she has also worked with school and library audiences helping adults and children develop an appreciation and love for classical music.
