ABOUT PHILIPPE QUINT:

Praised for his “searingly poetic lyricism” (UK Daily Telegraph), Philippe Quint stands as one of America's leading violinists, captivating audiences with his “breadth of tone and passion” (The New York Times). With multiple Grammy Award nominations for several of his recordings, Quint is consistently recognized for his innovative performances of classical repertoire, advocacy for contemporary music. His boundless curiosity led him to create unique multimedia format programs such as The Muse, Homage to J.S. Bach, Charlie Chaplin’s Smile, and The Legend of Astor Piazzolla.

Quint has performed with world-class orchestras including the London Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. His dedication to contemporary music is evident in numerous premieres by today’s foremost composers, including Errollyn Wallen, Lera Auerbach, and John Corigliano.

As an active chamber musician, Quint has performed at major festivals including Mostly Mozart, Verbier, and Ravinia, and at venues such as the Kravis Center and National Gallery in Washington. Based in New York since 1991, Quint studied at the Special Music School with Andrei Korsakov and earned degrees from Juilliard under the guidance of distinguished mentors including Dorothy DeLay, Itzhak Perlman and Cho-Liang Lin.
