Susanna Perry Gilmore, violin, enjoys a multifaceted career as solo artist, chamber musician, and orchestral concertmaster. Performing on both modern and period instruments and versatile in diverse styles from classical to fiddling, she is hailed as a player who is both “thrilling and sensitive” by the Memphis Commercial Appeal, “luminous and hypnotic” by the Omaha World-Herald, and “authentic with exquisite good taste” and “rich in tone, bringing musical depth and a human touch” by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. As concertmaster of the Omaha Symphony she frequently appears as a soloist including recent performances of the Scottish Fantasy by Max Bruch, Tzigane by Ravel, Berg Violin Concerto, Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Mozart Concerto No. 5 and the Korngold Violin Concerto as well as major concertmaster solos such as Rimsky Korsakov Scheherazade and Strauss Ein Heldenleben. She holds degrees from Oxford University and the New England Conservatory and is the violinist on Apollo’s Fire’s best-selling CD recordings Sugarloaf Mountain and Sephardic Journey.
