Emil Altschuler - Violin Virtuoso

Emil received his Bachelor of Music from The Juilliard School and his Masters of Music from 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.

Emil maintains an active career as a soloist and performs regularly with Belgian guitarist Jérôme Mouffe in the AM Duo interpreting Spanish, Tango, and contemporary works alongside classical masterpieces.

As a recording artist he released 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.' Emil recorded "Diablo y Tango" with guitar, including works by Falla and Piazzolla and was selected by renowned author and violin pedagogue Janice Tucker Rhoda to record 'The ABCs of Violin for the Absolute Beginner' Books 1 and 3, and will record Book 5 next season for publisher Carl Fischer Music.

At New England Conservatory, he has served as Head of Strings at Festival Youth Orchestra and chamber music coach at the School of Continuing Education and Preparatory School. He is currently a community music instructor at Tufts University and violin coach for the Tufts Youth Philharmonic and has begun teaching bluegrass as an instructor at Northeastern University. He also maintains an active private studio in Cambridge, MA.
