Shunske is a versatile musician . He is a violinist , equally at home as a soloist or an ensemble leader, whether on the baroque or modern violin. As a conductor , he works with both instrumental and vocal ensembles.

Historically informed practice of all eras inspires Shunske; the parameters of the past are essential for him in bringing the music into the present. He is particularly involved in cutting-edge research of 19th century performance practices, and gives lectures and workshops on the topic.

For Shunske, music is communication, and that requires empathy, context, nuance and good presentation. Music must move both the performer and the listener : “A musician cannot move others unless he too is moved,” wrote Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in 1753. It’s still true today.
