Kato Havas

Violin teacher

Kato Havas

Recorded when she was 95, Kato Havas, the Hungarian violin teacher talks in an audio interview about how her internationally renowned ‘New Approach to Violin Playing’, was inspired by the freedom of the Hungarian Gypsy violinists. She explains why she feels that stage fright for violinists is connected with a lack of physical freedom, and how a fear of making mistakes can also really affect performance nerves. Kato Havas died in 2018 and is much missed by members of the violin community.
