Stephanie Chase

"One of the most respected classical violinists in the world," (Woman Around Town) Stephanie Chase is in demand as soloist with eminent orchestras that have included the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, and London Symphony Orchestra, in performances acclaimed for their "elegance, dexterity, rhythmic vitality and great imagination" (Boston Globe) as well as "stunning power" (Louisville Courier-Journal) and "matchless technique" (BBC Music Magazine).

Renowned for her "rich, passionate tone, dead-true intonation throughout, and virtuosity galore" (Gramophone), Stephanie Chase is a top medalist of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow and recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.

"Refreshingly stylish" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) and equally at home in the virtuoso's repertoire, historically-informed performance practice, and contemporary music, Ms. Chase offers a repertoire of about sixty concerti and major works for violin soloist and orchestra, and provides her own cadenzas for many Classical-era concerti.  As a recitalist, she performs in concert halls throughout the United States and abroad.

“Chase’s interpretation of the Beethoven Violin Concerto, which earned her and the orchestra a long standing ovation,  was one of the best I have ever heard, live or recorded....Chase has an indescribable quality on stage. She is like a great actress, with such presence that by speaking softly, she can make the audience hang on every syllable....The cadenzas were simply stupendous, both in composition and execution."  - Portland Press Herald
