"Born in Tirana, Albania, in 1978 Rudens Turku received his first musical training at the age of six from his father, a professional violinist. Initially recognized for his outstanding talent in his home country, he was soon invited to Germany, where in 1996 he began his studies with Professor Ana Chumachenco at the Conservatory of Music of the University of Munich. After receiving his concert diploma with distinction in the summer of 2000, he concluded his studies with a Master Class diploma in 2002.
Rudens has performed with several fine international orchestras and won the First Prize of the "Jugend Musiziert" and also the First Prize of the Music Contest organized by the "Lions Clubs International" in 2001. In the same year he was awarded the "Dieter-Ulrich-Promotion-Prize." In 2006 he received the Artist of the Year award from the city of Munich in Bavaria.
Guest performances have taken Rudens to Albania, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxemborg, Spain, France, and Switzerland as well as to the United States. During his expanding concert activities he had the great fortune to meet artists such as Yehudi Menuhin, Ida Haendel, Denes Zsigmondy, Ulf Holscher, neeme Jarvi, and August Everding. Rudens was invited to perform for former US President Bill Clinton at the ceremony of the German "Festakt" in parliament during Mr. Clinton's visit to Berlin in October of 2002. In the same month Rudens made a successful tour of Spain.
His first CD, recorded with Pianist Olaf Dressler, was released in September of 2001. Radio and TV stations in Britain, France, Spain, Albania, Germany, and the United States of America have extended invitations to Rudens to appear.
Rudens Turku founded in 1999 the "Starnberger Musiktage" (Bavaria), which has taken place annually ever since. He is also the Assistant Professor at the Luzern/Vitznau, annual Master Courses at Vierwaldstadter See in Switzerland. In August 2000 he gave his debut at the Festival of Mecklenburg Vorpommern in Northern Germany. The Summer Music Academy in Thuringen Germany appointed him as artistic director in 2005 and in the same year he had his debut in Australia as well as at the Rhein Sieg Kammermusic Festival. Invitations for the 2005-06 season bring Rudens to New York, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, and many European cities and festivals including the Mecklenburg Vorpommern Musikfestival, Moselwochen Festival and the Chursachsische Mozart Festival.
