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 at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum After Hours.
Inviting new audiences, Emil has recently teamed up with Belgian guitar phenomenon Jérôme Mouffe in the AM Duo, performing Spanish, Gypsy, Tango and contemporary works alongside classical masterpieces. The Boston Phoenix, Editor’s Picks raves about them “Pretty much nothing sounds better to us right now than the idea of sitting in a Parisian night-club, sipping a vermouth cassis, and taking in a show by Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Quintette du Hot Club de France. But since that’s never going to happen (unless some enterprising mad scientist decides to put together the “My First Time Machine” kit that Santa brought) we’ll settle for the next best option: a performance by violinist Emil Altschuler and guitarist Jérôme Mouffe on guitar.”
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". The Boston Symphony Orchestra selected Emil to record excerpts from Messiaen’s ‘Oiseaux Exotiques’ to be used on their new interactive website for children. Most recently, he plans to record unaccompanied and accompanied works by Bach, Paganini, Sarasate, Ysaye, Kreisler, as well as his own improvisations and compositions incorporating modern popular themes. Emil also teaches at the New School of Music and Guilded Boston, Inc.
My debut album "Hello" is now available on iTunes. Please pick-up the album that CD baby has called "full of life and very upbeat" and what fans are calling "a great listening experience".
