Artist Bio

Benjamin Beilman, violin

Benjamin Beilman has won international praise for his passionate performances and deep, rich tone which the New York Times described as “muscular with a glint of violence,” and the Strad described as “pure poetry.” Beilman’s 2024–25 season includes returns to the Chicago, Cincinnati, and Antwerp symphonies. He makes his debut with the Belgian National Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky’s concerto, and with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony performing Korngold. Beilman studied at the Curtis Institute of Music with Ida Kavafian and Pamela Frank, and with Christian Tetzlaff at the Kronberg Academy. He performs with the ex-Balaković F.X. Tourte bow (ca. 1820), and plays the “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù violin from 1740, generously on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
