About this user
One of America's finest up and coming virtuoso violinists, Emil Altschuler, performs at a world
class standard and possesses a commanding stage presence. He holds degrees from The Juilliard
School and The Yale School of Music. Master violinist, Erick Friedman, wrote of him: "...a
very gifted violinist who possesses the talent and capability to become a truly outstanding
violinist of his generation...and sound and accuracy of intonation that are truly
extraordinary."
His brilliant technique and vigorous performance energy has received ovations in venues such as
Lincoln Center, San Francisco's Helen Von Ammon's Emerging Artist Series, The Aspen Music
Festival, and Italy's Castello di Galeazza. As a featured soloist, he has appeared with the Aspen
Young Artist's Orchestra, the Binghamton Philharmonic and the Binghamton University
Chamber Orchestra. This season he is engaged to perform the Chausson's 'Poeme' and
Sarasate's 'Zigeunerweisen'.
Inviting new audiences, Emil has recently teamed up with Belgian guitarist Jérôme Mouffe in the
AM Duo, performing Spanish, Gypsy, Tango and contemporary works alongside classical
masterpieces. The Hardwick Gazette raves of them "coordination was spectacular, with
sensitive phrasing and a depth of feeling in their touch" and The Armenian Weekly holds them
as "musicians who are also artists".
Emil has also taken interest in transcribing and arranging pieces from modern and popular genres
such as Rock and Folk. Paganini's 20th Caprice is recorded on his debut album "Emil
Altschuler -- Violin", arranged with his brother Josiah Altschuler, with a gypsy jazz style guitar
accompaniment. He is also a featured artist on his brother's first album "Murder Ballads and
Love Songs for Cello and Voice". His latest project to be recorded this season includes works by
contemporary composer Tony Schemmer. This past summer he taught at University of New
Hampshire's Summer Youth Music School. He currently teaches at the Cambridge Center for
Adult Education and the New School of Music in Boston,MA
