Ingolf Turban (born March 17, 1964 in Munich ) is a German violinist.

Ingolf Turban’s mother was a pianist, his father a music-loving physician, and his sister an actress. At the age of 12 he was accepted into Gerhart Hetzel 's violin class in Munich . He also attended courses with Jens Ellermann and Dorothy DeLay in the USA .

In 1985, at the age of 21, he became first concertmaster of the Munich Philharmonic under Sergiu Celibidache . Celibidache's respect was expressed in the bon mot: “I am Celi and you are Turbi.” In 1986 Celibidache made him perform as a soloist for the first time. In 1988 he left the orchestra and began a successful solo career. In 1991 he made his debut at La Scala in Milan and in Washington.

In 1995 he received a professorship at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart. In 2005 Turban founded the chamber orchestra I Virtuosi di Paganini . This corresponds with his special commitment to the works of Paganini. Ingolf Turban has been a professor at the Munich University of Music and Theater since 2006 .

Turban plays the great violin literature "from Bach to Berg", but also many rarely or never before heard works of all styles. These include curiosities such as Otto Soldan's Adagio religioso - a quartet for a violin , which is stroked across all four strings with detached bow hair. Turban likes to bring this as an encore.

Turban has published over 40 CDs so far, including violin-accompanied literature readings by his sister Dietlinde Turban . He is a member of the German String Trio .

In 1999 he was awarded the Günther-Klinge-Kulturpreis of the community of Gauting .
