Biography
One of America’s finest up and coming virtuoso violinists, Emil Altschuler, performs at a world class standard and possesses a commanding stage presence. He holds degrees from The Juilliard School and The Yale School of Music. Master violinist, Erick Friedman, wrote of him: “…a very gifted violinist who possesses the talent and capability to become a truly outstanding violinist of his generation… and sound and accuracy of intonation that are truly extraordinary.”
His brilliant technique and vigorous performance energy has received ovations in venues such as Lincoln Center, San Francisco’s Helen Von Ammon’s Emerging Artist Series, The Aspen Music Festival, and Italy’s Castello di Galeazza. As a featured soloist, he has appeared with the Aspen Young Artist’s Orchestra, the Binghamton Philharmonic and the Binghamton University Chamber Orchestra.
Inviting new audiences, Emil has recently teamed up with classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan, in a show called ‘Summertime’, performing short jazz, Spanish, gypsy, and contemporary works in tandem with classical masterpieces. They are also sometimes accompanied on cello (plucked guitarstyle), by Emil’s brother and solo artist, Josiah Altschuler, who provides rhythmic and entertaining bass lines.
