« She traces expansive arcs of tender richness, interwoven with a balm-like, supple fragility — a quality she can command thanks to her bowing, which, even at the slowest pace, is marked by an unbroken, controlled continuity of tone, sustained with remarkable steadiness even at the outermost limits of expression. »
– Christoph Schlüren

Biography
Jaleh Johanna Perego was born in Rennes, France, in 1983 and spent much of her life in Vienna. She began studying the violin at the age of five and gained extensive performance experience from an early age. Her musical development was profoundly shaped by teachers such as Abraham Quivoij, Nikolai Tzygankov, Robert Papavrami, Miguel Candela, Igor Volochine, and Yehudi Menuhin.
In 2001, she began her studies with Prof. Florian Zwiauer at the Vienna Conservatory. Two years later, she was accepted into the masterclass of Prof. Michael Frischenschlager at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. At the same time, she attended composition classes with Prof. Iván Erőd, graduating with honours in 2004. In 2006, she moved to Germany to continue her studies with Prof. Nachum Erlich at the Karlsruhe University of Music, where she completed her Soloist Diploma with highest distinction in 2014.
Her active concert schedule has taken her across Europe, as well as to Switzerland, Russia, Israel, the United States, Brazil, England, and New Zealand. Over the years, Jaleh Perego has collaborated with numerous distinguished artists, among them Ivry Gitlis, Wolfgang Meyer, Hartmut Höll, Arto Satukangas, Christiane Libor, Stephan Klemm, Laurent Albrecht Breuninger, and Bernard Lörcher, to name just a few.
She transcribes with a particular predilection monumental and harmonically rich masterpieces for chamber ensembles, such as Richard Wagner's Meistersinger Overture and Charles-Marie Widor’s Organ Toccata. Guided by her preference for polyphonic textures, an opulent string sound, and her practical experience as an instrumentalist, she approaches transcription as a creative challenge—one that goes beyond a mere reduction of instrumentation. She redistributes, elaborates, and reimagines the musical substance, revealing an unseen expressive potential.
An active concert violinist and a versatile chamber musician, she is also an enterprising concert curator with a decade of teaching experience to her name.
