Rodrigo Bauzá - Violin
Rodrigo Bauzá, born in 1983 in Formosa (Argentina), studied violin in Uruguay and Argentina with Jorge Risi and Ljerko Spiller, as well as with Alberto Lysy at the Menuhin Academy in Switzerland. He then continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Leipzig, where he completed his diploma and concert exam under the guidance of Professor Mariana Sirbu.
Rodrigo Bauzá was a member of the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig for several years, working with conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Daniel Harding, and Gustavo Dudamel. Since 2014, he has been a member of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra.
His chamber music partners have included Christian Zacharias, Caroline Widmann, Jean-Francois Heisser, and Marie-Elisabeth Hecker. From 2008 to 2013, he was a member of the Cuarteto Arriaga, with which he performed across Asia, Europe, and South America. The Cuarteto Arriaga has performed in venues such as the Wigmore Hall in London, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, the Dolles Journées in Nantes and Tokyo, and the Quincena Musical de San Sebastián. They were invited by Gidon Kremer to the “Kammermusikfest Lockenhaus” and performed several times at the Palacio Real in Madrid, playing on the famous Stradivarius instruments owned by the Spanish royal family.
Rodrigo Bauzá is a highly versatile musician, also passionate about jazz, Argentine folk music, and tango. He was introduced to music as a child through the popular songs of his homeland and through improvisation. Upon arriving in Europe, he continued to explore these styles, studying jazz, among other subjects, at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he received lessons from pianist Richie Beirach. As a jazz violinist, he performs in various ensembles, including collaborations with Diego Piñera, Peter Ehwald, and Christian Ugurel. In Argentina, he has played with prominent musicians from the pop music scene, such as singers Juan Quintero and Liliano Herrero, as well as clarinetist Marcelo Moguilevsky.
In 2013, he founded the Cuareim Quartet, a string quartet that primarily focuses on jazz through original compositions and arrangements. The Cuareim Quartet recorded their first CD in 2015, together with Marcelo Moguilevsky.

100 years of radio – 100 years of jazz
In 2023, radio in Germany will celebrate its 100th birthday – and with it the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, whose members Rodrigo Bauzá and Oliver Link have come up with the programme for the concert at Ballhaus Wedding. 1923 was also the year of the first record by King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, on which trumpeter Joe “King” Oliver can be heard together with Louis Armstrong for the first time. Last but not least, the legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon would also have turned 100 in 2023. The concert programme pays tribute to the two jazz giants in arrangements by Rodrigo Bauzá for saxophone/clarinet, violin, guitar and double bass.
Ballrooms have had a great time in Berlin. Without the plush dance halls, the Golden Twenties would probably not have become the cult brand that it is today, and which even had an impact on the founding years of radio. The RSB opens up two of Berlin’s lovingly maintained ballrooms for selected chamber concerts: the Ballhaus Wedding and the Ballhaus Neukölln, today’s “Heimathafen”.
Both mark stations on an imaginary line between the orchestra’s two radio houses during its 100-year history: the Haus des Rundfunks in Charlottenburg and the Funkhaus Nalepastraße in Oberschöneweide.
