Rupert Guenther – Electric Violin and Looping

Rupert Guenther with his electric violin and live looping takes you on a mystical and timeless journey along the silk road—the musical influences and sounds of the mosques, villages, bamboo forests and temples, combined with beats and rhythms from Africa, the middle east to central Asia. Renowned for his amazing electric violin tone and style, Rupert's concerts are an imaginative journey of ancient, ambient, electronic and world-music influences, in an uplifting and positive experience for audiences of all ages.

Rupert Guenther has played concerts in Australia, UK, Europe, and the USA, ranging from classical to ambient/world music and blues, and has released over 27 albums of his own music since 2003. Trained as a virtuoso concert violinist in Vienna, Austria, his deep spiritual feeling for music has fuelled his musical passions over a diverse range of musical styles since a young age. Formerly a member of the Vienna Chamber Opera, he has been sideman to stars such as Beatles’ producer Sir George Martin, Olivia-Newton John, Demis Roussos, John Farnham, Anthony Warlow, Austrian TV heart-throb Tobias Moretti (of “Inspector Rex” fame - the detective not the dog!), and more recently Hollywood singer-songwriter Lisbeth Scott.
