Rudens Turku - Violin
"Rudens Turku's exceptional talent and superior technical and artistic competency
has been widely acknowledged. He brings deeply felt passion to his playing, which
extends from the most profound sweetness to overwhelming force reaching directly into our
hearts. You simply have to hear him and in doing so weep, laugh or simply lift
off." - MERKUR
