Few artists have ever burst onto the international scene with such immediate and overwhelming success as Arabella Steinbacher. Since her 2004 debut in Paris, she has appeared at major concert venues in Europe, the U.S., and Asia and made critically acclaimed recordings. One of the reasons for her success is her choice to play rarely heard works as well as standards. Her work in the chamber realm has drawn the same kind of plaudits as have her concertante performances. As a member of the humanitarian organization CARE, Steinbacher toured Japan in 2011 following the tsunami disaster, performing for survivors in CARE shelters. In 2024, she issued a recording of violin concertos by Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. She has earned two German Record Critics Awards, two ECHO Klassik Awards, an Editor's Choice Award from Gramophone Magazine, and a Les Chocs du Mois from Le Monde de la Musique.
