Karin Brown • Violin
• Viola
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. |
