Musician Information

Aiden Sullivan, Viola

Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, Aiden received his Bachelor of Music from the Elder Conservatorium of Music at the University of Adelaide, graduating with first class honours under the tutelage of both Keith Crellin and Stephen King.

In late 2022, Aiden moved to Germany to study a master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz, Köln.

Since living in Cologne, he has performed in multiple festivals throughout Europe, and has performed and toured with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as part of their Academy. Alongside his studies, Aiden has won a Stipendium with the Neuss Kammerakademie and performs regularly with the chamber orchestra.

More recently, in the past few months he has performed and toured with the Kölner Kammerorchester, attended the Hellensmusic Chamber Music Festival in Ledbury, England under a German Academic Exchange scholarship. His string quartet “Quartett Mundus” won both the first prize and a scholarship from Erft Classics at the Hochschule’s annual chamber music competition.

Aiden’s studies in Germany are generously supported by the University of Adelaide, the PPCA’s Performers’ Trust Foundation, the Ian Potter Cultural Trust and the South Australian Government through Carclew.
