TIM FAIN

Violinist Tim Fain, winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, was seen on screen and heard on the sound track of the hit film Black Swan, and heard as the sound of Richard Gere’s violin in the feature film Bee Season. His international engagements include soloist with the Philip Glass Ensemble (at Carnegie Hall), Baltimore Symphony with Marin Alsop, The Hague and Mexico City Philharmonics, Orchestra of St Luke’s, Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, Ravinia Festival, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Kennedy Center, Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and many others, in works ranging widely from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to Corigliano and Danielpour. His multi-media solo evening, Portals, features the world première of a new work written for him by Glass. Recipient of the Young Concert Artists International Award, he has toured with Musicians from Marlboro and performed as a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Arches, his début CD on Image Recordings combines old and new solo works.

Tim Fain performs on a violin made by Francesco Gobetti, Venice 1717, the “Moller” on extended loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the generous efforts of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
