Marguerite Wassermann

Marguerite is a baroque violinist from the UK, now living in Switzerland, where she studies with Amandine Beyer and Baptiste Romain at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. She has an undergraduate degree in Musicology from the University of Oxford, where her interest in historical performance began.

Marguerite won the second prize at the Premio Bonporti 2023 for Baroque Violin and third prize at the Marco Uccellini Competition in 2022. She performs and records with Jordi Savall and Les Concerts de Nations, and has been featured as section leader and soloist in their 2024 recording of Vivaldi’s ‘Concerto for Four Violins’ and other Vivaldi concerti. Marguerite has also performed and recorded with ensembles such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Monteverdi String Band, Europäisches Hanse Ensemble, His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts, Holland Baroque and London Early Opera.

Marguerite is passionate about discovering lost repertoires. After finding the violin sonatas of music theorist Denis Delair, she and her ensemble, The Levée, recorded the set, and look forward to the album release in April 2025. The Levée won 1st prize from the Jeunes Talents competition organised by Cadets en Scène.

Marguerite is supported on the 2025-26 Intrada scheme, run in partnership with four partner ensembles: B’Rock Orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen, Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, and Dunedin Consort.
