Alinka Rowe completed her Bachelor degree in performance with First class honours, in the class of Juan-Miguel Hernandez. 

Alinka is a founding member of the award-winning Talos Quartet. 

The Talos Quartet came together in 2023 out of an unusual curiosity about Ernest Bloch's rarely performed String Quartet No.1. It was an unorthodox way to form a quartet, but the hours spent discovering this huge one-hour work felt very natural and it soon became clear that all members wanted to invest in the group's long-term development. It also reflected their shared interest in championing under-performed quartet repertoire, now a large part of their ambition. Their work was soon rewarded with a Tunnell Trust Award, giving them the opportunity to tour in Scotland in 2026. In addition to several concerts in Switzerland, the quartet will perform in the UK, France and Spain this season, and will be attending the IMS Prussia Cove masterclasses. Through their studies at the Musik-Akademie Basel, they are supported by renowned chamber music teachers such as Claudio Martínez Mehner and Anton Kernja

Der Master in Performance steht für ein weiteres Polieren der eigenen technischen Fägikeiten, der stilistischen Sicherheit und des künstlerischen Anspruchs.

Der Masterabschluss in Musikpädagogik befähigt mich zum fundierten Unterrichten der Instrumente Violine und Viola an alle Altersklassen und Niveaus. Gleichzeitig bescheinigt er das künstlerisch Niveau der Lehrperson auf der Bühne.

I’ve been teaching from a young age and have extensive experience in private violin and viola lessons. I’ve had the pleasure of guiding players of all ages—14 to 65—and skill levels, from enthusiastic beginners to advanced students preparing for auditions. Many violinists willing to switch to the viola have also found their way to my lessons. Additionally, I bring experience from teaching in conservatories and music schools.

Since 2005, I’ve developed a specialised yoga practice for musicians, and taught it at institutions like the Zürich Hochschule der Künste and the Sibelius Academy. This unique approach helps me also guide my viola and violin students to play more healthily and effectively, adding an extra dimension to their learning experience.



Several

After studying at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, a leading institution in early music, I’ve built a dynamic career as a Baroque violist and violinist. I regularly perform with prestigious ensembles such as the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra and the Finnish Baroque Orchestra. My career highlights include numerous sold-out solo recitals abroad and engaging projects with many renowned ensembles. 

Freelance

My musical journey includes engagements with renowned ensembles such as the Philharmonia Zürich (Opera), Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Camerata Bern and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, and have also served as guest principal violist with numerous orchestras, including the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen, the Dutch Ballet Orchestra, and others. 
As a Baroque viola player, my career features both sold-out solo recitals and projects and tours with renowned ensembles. I’ve also gained experience in pop, tango, and folk music bands!

Musikphysiologie unterstützt  den musizierenden Menschen in allen körperlichen und mentalen Bedürfnissen. Das Instrumentalspiel und Singen soll möglichst Ressourcen schonend, in freier Beweglichkeit stattfinden können. 
Prophylaxe gegen typische Musikerkrankheiten und Verhindern von Beschwerden beim Üben, Konzertieren und Unterrichten stehen dabei im Zentrum. In der praktischen Umsetzung wird die Kompetenz zur Selbstwahrnehmung gefördert und gleichzeitig werden Bewegungs- und Verhaltensmuster hinsichtlich Ergonomie und Ökonomie optimiert.

Während meinem Violinstudium mit pädagogischem Schwerpunkt entdeckte ich die Viola im Nebenfach. Ihr Klang begeistert mich! Sehr gerne übernehme ich daher im Streichquartett «A la Q'Art» die Bratschenstimme! 

ZHDK (früher Musikakademie Zürich)

Ich unterrichte mit Begeisterung seit mehr als 30 Jahren Schüler*innen jeden Alters (sehr gerne auch «best agers»), vom Anfänger bis zur Fortgeschrittenen! Manche Schüler begleite ich schon bald 20 Jahre auf ihrem musikalischen Weg...
Als versierte Zuzügerin und engagierte Teamplayerin bin ich in der ganzen Schweiz in Orchestern, sowie grösseren und kleineren Ensembles zu Gast. Oft auch mit historischem Instrumentarium.
Im Streichquartett A la Q'Art übernehme ich den Violapart, kreiere originelle Konzertinhalte und bin auch für das Organisatorische zuständig. 
Mein Steckenpferd ist das Bearbeiten von ursprünglich nicht für Streicher komponierten Musikstücken - so entstehen unter anderem individuelle  Arrangements für unser Streichquartett.
