Karin Brown • Violin/Viola
(Weeks 4 - 5)
Karin Brown received critical acclaim for her “strikingly
rich and warm tone” (The Strad) after making
her solo recital debut at Carnegie Weill Hall. Ms. Brown is
a violist in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and performs
frequently as solo and chamber musician in the Baltimore/
Washington area. She made her Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
concerto debut performing the Britten Double Concerto with
Concertmaster Jonathan Carney, of which The Baltimore
Sun noted “Karin Brown sculpted her phrases in
a rich, subtly shaded tone.” |
| Ms. Brown has been a prizewinner in
numerous competitions, including the William Primrose International
Viola Competition and the National Federation of Music Clubs
Competition. She has been featured in Caramoor’s “Rising
Stars” series, and has attended festivals at Tanglewood,
Pacific Music Festival, and Verbier. She has performed at
New York Viola Society Concerts, and gives masterclasses and
recitals across the country. An advocate for new music, she
has performed several premieres, and strives to program music
by women composers, lesser known masterworks, and American
music. While still a student at Juilliard, Ms. Brown was a
frequent substitute with the New York Philharmonic and Metropolitan
Opera, joining each for several international tours. |
