PAUL NEUBAUER

The violist Paul Neubauer’s exceptional musicality and effortless playing distinguish him as one of this generation’s quintessential artists. At 21 Neubauer was the youngest principal string player in the New York Philharmonic’s history. He currently performs as soloist and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and is Music Director of the OK Mozart Festival in Oklahoma. He recently released an all-Schumann recital album and recorded works that were written for him: Wild Purple, for solo viola, by Joan Tower, Viola Rhapsody, a concerto by Henri Lazarof, and Soul Garden, for viola and chamber ensemble, by Derek Bermel. In 2005, he premièred Joan Tower’s Purple Rhapsody, a viola concerto commissioned for him by seven orchestras. He has appeared with over 100 orchestras, including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, the National, St Louis, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, and Bournemouth Symphonies, and the Santa Cecilia, English Chamber, and Beethovenhalle Orchestras. He gave the world première of the revised Bartók Viola Concerto as well as concertos by Penderecki, Picker, Jacob, Lazarof, Suter, Müller-Siemens, Ott, and Friedman. He has been heard on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and has been featured in Strad, Strings, and People magazines. Neubauer teaches at The Juilliard School.
