    Bettina Marie Ezaki is a Copenhagen-based violinist. In 2014, she graduated with an MA from the Royal Danish Academy of Music in violin performance under the class of Alexandre Zapolski.

    Ezaki began playing the violin at age 6 and has received formal training in solo playing and chamber music by many great violinists and pedagogues in Denmark and the US. Since finishing her formal studies, Ezaki has been on a journey of her own, finding her own voice in music-making. Her interest lies in the fields of contemporary and improvisatory music. Ezaki is a true chamber musician, meaning that music is a means for collaborative expression and a feeling of togetherness.

    Ezaki is a founding member of the contemporary string quartet Halvcirkel and is also a part of the string collective LiveStrings. Primarily, her work is freelance-based and also includes orchestral playing, mainly in Copenhagen Phil. She plays on a modern violin, built by luthier Julia Van der Waerden in 2014.
