Emilie-Anne Gendron, violin

Lauded by the New York Times as “brilliant" and by France’s ClassiqueInfo for her “excellent technical mastery” and “undeniable sensitivity”, violinist Emilie-Anne Gendron enjoys an active freelance career based in New York. A deeply committed chamber musician, she appears on the rosters of the Marlboro Music Festival and the touring Musicians from Marlboro, along with A Far Cry, Argento Ensemble, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Ensemble Échappé, Gamut Bach Ensemble, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Talea Ensemble, and Sejong Soloists. As a member of the Momenta Quartet, whose vision encompasses contemporary music of all backgrounds alongside great music from the past, she is one of Bates College’s Artists-in-Residence in Music. Her extensively varied international appearances have included recitals in Sweden and at the Louvre in Paris; festivals in Russia, Finland, and Jordan; and recently, major venues in China, South Korea, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, in collaboration with such artists as Rachel Barton Pine, Bruno Canino, Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, Edgar Meyer, and Gil Shaham, among many others. Ms. Gendron was trained at the Juilliard School where her teachers were Won Bin Yim, Dorothy DeLay, David Chan, and Hyo Kang. She holds the distinction of being the first person in Juilliard’s history to be accepted simultaneously to its two most selective courses of study, the Doctor of Musical Arts and the Artist Diploma. She holds a B.A. in Classics from Columbia University, and a Master of Music degree and the coveted Artist Diploma from Juilliard. www.emilieannegendron.com
