Philippe Quint most recently appeared with the North Carolina Symphony in 2019 for concerts in Raleigh and Moore County, where he performed the Barber Violin Concerto and Charlie Chaplin’s Smile on a program that also included Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2.

Philippe Quint has been praised for his “searingly poetic lyricism” (The Telegraph) and his “breadth of tone and passion” (The New York Times). With multiple Grammy Award nominations for his recordings, he is consistently recognized for performances of classical repertoire and advocacy for contemporary music.

Quint has performed with orchestras including the London Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Other notable performances include appearances with the Baltimore, Detroit, and Indianapolis symphony orchestras; Seattle and Houston symphonies; and the Minnesota Orchestra, Weimar Staatskapelle, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa, China National Symphony Orchestra, and Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia.

Quint’s dedication to contemporary music is evident in numerous premieres by composers including Errollyn Wallen, Lera Auerbach, and John Corigliano. He will release a recording of Wallen’s Violin Concerto in spring 2025, along with Lera Auerbach’s Concerto No. 1, composed for him in 2001, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra led by Andrew Litton. Highlights of his 17 previous recordings include Chaplin’s Smile with pianist Marta Aznavoorian and Opera Breve with Lily Maisky. His Grammy-nominated recording of Korngold’s Violin Concerto featured the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería conducted by Carlos Miguel Prieto.

Based in New York since 1991, Quint studied at the Special Music School with Andreï Korsakov and earned degrees from The Juilliard School under the guidance of mentors including Dorothy DeLay, Itzhak Perlman, and Cho-Liang Lin.
