"The variety of tone and dynamics Luthmers coaxes from her Baroque violin is impressive. But it is the sheer beauty and richness that provide the most profound and gratifying impression. These superb performances are documented in recorded sound that offers an arresting balance of presence, detail, and resonant warmth. A marvelous recital."
Early Music America, July 20, 2025
"Her light bowing, impeccable intonation and carefully inflected shaping of the line communicate the music’s melodic charms with aplomb."
The Strad, June 2025

About Me
After completing my modern violin studies at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, I moved to Sweden in 2012 and began pursuing my true love, Baroque violin, which I had been studying since age 15. As a teenager, I was drawn in both by the expressive possibilities of original instruments and by the multi-faceted approach of historically informed performance, the process of carving my own path by incorporating factors such as visual art, dance and original written sources into the interpretation of a piece of music. Then I discovered a kind of joy and intensity of connection between early musicians, where no matter the size of the ensemble it is always chamber music and always completely alive —I was hooked!
