Estere Eversone, a former resident of Kuldīga, Latvia, has been playing the violin for 18 years. She currently lives in England, where she has established herself in the music scene over nine years. She performs in orchestras, theater productions, concerts, festivals, and weddings, with 53 weddings scheduled this season. Additionally, she teaches violin at three schools.
Eversone began her violin studies at the E. Vīgnera Kuldīga Music School under Inguna Svara, who helped her develop both technical skills and a love for music. She also remembers solfège teacher Maruta Grigale, who inspired her. She also learned piano. From a young age, she knew her path would involve the violin, encouraged by her grandmother Aleksandra, who motivated her to attend music school.
In England, Eversone enrolled at St. Wilfrid's Music College but left before completing her studies as her career took off. "I spent many years improving myself, taking every opportunity to perform. My perseverance helped me the most," she says. Her notable performances include Cadogan Hall in London and The Lowry Theater in Manchester with the Electric Light Orchestra Show.
Eversone finds inspiration from teachers, colleagues, and musicians who work with passion. Although she rarely visits Latvia, Kuldīga remains in her heart. If given the chance, she would love to perform at the St. Catherine's Church in Kuldīga, which holds childhood memories.
