She also returns to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra, and Orchestra della Toscana, performs in a special project at Dubai Opera House, and makes her debut in recital at the Wigmore Hall alongside pianist Alessio Bax.

Dego’s recent recording of Mozart Violin Concertos No. 3 and 4, conducted by Sir Roger Norrington with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, was named BBC Music Magazine “Record of the Month.” Other releases include concertos by Paganini and Wolf-Ferrari alongside the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Daniele Rustioni, the recital disc Il Cannone, and a complete survey of the violin sonatas by Beethoven and of Paganini’s Caprices.

A frequent contributor to specialist music magazines, penning a monthly column for Suonare News among others, Dego has written articles and opinion pieces for the BBC Music Magazine, The Strad, Musical Opinion, and Strings Magazine. She has also recently published her first book, Tra le note. Classica: 24 chiavi di lettura, in which she explores how classical music can be listened to and better understood today.

Based in London, Dego performs on a rare Francesco Ruggeri violin (Cremona 1697).
