Born in Belgium in 2012 to Polish and Greek parents, Georgia Karasi began playing the violin at the age of three and a half. She began her musical training with Erik Sluys and is currently pursuing her studies with Robin Wilson and Ilya Grubert.
From an early age, Georgia distinguished herself through her exceptional musical sensitivity and artistic maturity. At six, she was already appearing regularly in concert, and in 2020 she attracted particular attention at the Klassiek Leeft Jong Festival in Knokke, where she performed alongside pianist Liebrecht Vanbeckevoort.
Her talent has been recognized through numerous national and international distinctions. Among her achievements are victories at the National Competition Jonge Solisten, the Crickboom Competition, the Breughel Competition, and the prestigious Kocian International Violin Competition. She was also the only European finalist at the Grumiaux Competition and received First Prize and a Special Award at the J. Micka Competition in Prague.
In 2022, Georgia made her orchestral debut performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto at the Lemmensinstituut. Since then, she has appeared with ensembles including Stringendo, the Flemish Chamber Philharmonic, PhilZuid, and Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen, and has been invited to perform at leading venues and festivals in Belgium and the Netherlands, among them Muziekcentrum De Bijloke, AMUZ, Arte Amanti, Musicorum, and the Schiermonnikoog Festival.
A passionate chamber musician and recitalist, she gave her first recital at the Royal Library of Belgium on a historic violin once owned by Irma Sèthe, one of Eugène Ysaÿe’s most distinguished pupils. In 2026, she appeared on the television programme Podium Klassik, performing Beethoven’s First Sonata.
Georgia has further refined her artistry through masterclasses with internationally acclaimed musicians, including Philippe Graffin, Tatiana Samouil, Boris Garlitsky, Vadim Sokolov, Andrey Prichin, Mihaela Martin, Sergey Khachatryan, and Yossif Ivanov.
In 2024, Georgia became the youngest participant in the Strings for Talents programme and was entrusted with instruments by Patrick Robin and Pietro Antonio Dalla Costa. Two years later, she became the youngest member of the Stretton Society and was invited to join its prestigious Excellence Mentorship Program.
She performs on an Annibale Fagnola violin generously provided by Stretton and is a scholarship holder of the King Baudouin Foundation.
Beyond music, she is an enthusiastic reader with a particular interest in history and poetry, writes her own verses, and enjoys both chess and science. Fluent in Polish, Greek, French, and English, she also speaks Dutch and is currently learning German.
