About this user

Taimur Sullivan is a member of the acclaimed PRISM Quartet, the Artist/Professor of Saxophone at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and serves on the faculty of the Contemporary Performance Program at the Manhattan School of Music. He enjoys a prolific career as a soloist and chamber musician, and his performances have taken him from the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Knitting Factory, to engagements in Russia, England, Germany, and throughout Latin America. He has garnered critical praise as "outstanding...his melodies phrased as if this were an old and cherished classic, his virtuosity supreme" (New York Times), "...talented, fearless and sensitive the sounds he made were fully and deliciously drawn" (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) and as a player of "dazzling proficiency" (American Record Guide). An active recording artist, he appears on over twenty-five releases for the New World, Mode, Albany, Innova, Naxos, Capstone, Mastersound, Bonk and Zuma record labels.

Mr. Sullivan has performed concertos with orchestras nationwide including the Cleveland, Detroit, and Dallas Symphony Orchestras, as a member of the PRISM Quartet, with whom he regularly present recitals, master classes and workshops throughout the United States and abroad. Highlights of past seasons include a five-week tour of Latin America where he performed in Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador and Guatemala, and performed in concert with the famed Chilean band Inti-Illimani.

As a soloist, Mr. Sullivan has been a featured artist at music festivals internationally, with solo appearances at New York's Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival and Sonic Boom Festival, Montreal's Festival Lanaudiere, and Germany's MusicParadise Festival and EarMarks Festival. He was presented in his Carnegie Hall Debut as a soloist with the National Wind Ensemble, and is regularly invited to present recitals and master classes around the United States. Mr. Sullivan has dedicated much of his career to promoting new repertoire for the saxophone, and has given the premieres of over one-hundred solo and chamber works by both established and emerging composers. In honor of his distinguished record of promoting and presenting new works for the saxophone, Meet the Composer recently named him one of eight "Soloist Champions" in the United States.

As a jazz saxophonist, Mr. Sullivan has toured extensively throughout the Soviet Union, and has also performed with the Platters, the Drifters, Louis Bellison, Cecil Bridgewater, Tim Ries, Rick Margitza, Ben Monder, Bunky Green and Jimmy Heath.
