Praised for “her light bowing, impeccable intonation and carefully inflected shaping of the line” (Robin Stowell, The Strad), Canadian-American Baroque violinist Alison Luthmers enjoys a thriving career as leader, soloist and chamber musician. She performs regularly with Concerto Copenhagen, Camerata Øresund, and Göteborg Baroque, and has appeared as guest concertmaster of Höör Barock, Barokkanerne, Eslövs Kammarorkester, Nivalis Barokk, HemiDemiSemi Consort and Jönköpings Sinfonietta. As member of these ensembles she has recorded for Da Capo, Channel Classics, Berlin Classics, Ramée, Naxos and ECM. She has been leader of the Ensemble in Residence at Trigonale Festival several times, and has appeared at many other major early music festivals in Europe and the United States.

Her first solo album of the Swedish Baroque composer Johan Helmich Roman’s Assaggi for Solo Violin was released by Rubicon Classics in April 2025. She was selected as "Artist of the Season" (Säsongens Artist) for Fall 2025 on Swedish Radio P2's Sunday Morning program.

Alison Luthmers is a founding member of the Bellevue String Quartet, Scandinavia’s only full-time period instrument quartet, which engages audiences through their unique, conceptual programs and intimate concert environment. Their repertoire includes everything from 17th century consort, classical standards and Scandinavian folk music to newly commissioned works. Their first CD, For Four, will be released in October 2026 on OUR Recordings. 

 A passion for creative programming also led to BookJam, where as artistic director Luthmers has organized a series of informal chamber music concerts at Andy's Corner Bookstore in Malmö, Sweden. 

In 2025 Alison Luthmers received a Work Scholarship from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee (Konstnärsnämden). As a two-time recipient of a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, she studied the connection between folk music, early music and dance in Scandinavia. She began her Baroque violin studies with Alice Blankenship and went on to study modern violin with Robert Lipsett at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, and Baroque violin with Peter Spissky and Arek Goliński in Copenhagen.
