Violinist Benjamin Beilman has won praise both for his passionate performances and deep, rich tone, which the Washington Post called “mightily impressive,” and the New York Times described as “muscular with a glint of violence.” His 2023–24 season includes his debut with the St. Louis Symphony under Cristian Macelaru, and returns to the Minnesota Orchestra with Elim Chan, the Oregon Symphony with David Danzmayr, and the Pacific Symphony, whom he will play-direct in a program of Vivaldi. The season also includes concerts with the SWR Symphonieorchester Stuttgart alongside Elim Chan, a return to the Kölner Philharmonie with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken, and appearances at the Grafenegg Festival, Festpielhaus St. Pölten, and the Musikverein in Vienna with the Tonkünstler Orchester and Tabita Berglund. In April 2022, he became one of the youngest artists to join the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music. He has performed with major orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Antwerp Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Zurich Tonhalle, Sydney Symphony, Houston Symphony, and Minnesota Orchestra. An alum of CMS’s Bowers Program, Beilman studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Kronberg Academy (with Christian Tetzlaff), and has received many prestigious accolades including a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and a London Music Masters Award. He plays the “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù (1740), generously on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
