Lauded by BBC Radio as ""the greatest living exponent of the electric violin"", Tracy Silverman's groundbreaking work defies musical boundaries. Formerly first violinist with the innovative Turtle Island String Quartet, Silverman was named one of 100 distinguished alumni by The Juilliard School and is the subject of several electric violin concertos composed specifically for him, including ""The Dharma at Big Sur"" by Pulitzer winner John Adams, Terry Riley's ""The Palmian Chord Ryddle"", concertos by Nico Muhly and Kenji Bunch, as well as the composer of 3 electric violin concertos of his own. He has performed and recorded as a soloist with the world's finest orchestras including the LA Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony, BBC Symphony and many others at Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Adelaide's Festival Theatre, Sao Paulo's Auditorio Ibirapuera, and Vienna's Musikverein among others.TV/internet and radio includes a solo Tiny Desk Concert on NPR, Performance Today, St. Paul Sunday, A Prairie Home Companion and a profile on CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood.Mark Swed of the LA Times enthused, ""Inspiring. Silverman is in a class of his own."" The Chicago Tribune's John von Rhein raved, ""Blazing virtuosity. You will be astonished that anybody can play a fiddle like that"" and Anthony Tommasini, New York Times, wrote, ""Fleet agility and tangy expressivity with wailing hints of Jimi Hendrix."" A long-standing advocate for music education, Silverman is the author of The Strum Bowing Method: How To Groove On Strings, The Rhythm String Player: Strum Bowing in Action and several books of Strum Bowing etudes. He is an in-demand clinician and on the string faculty at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.www.TracySilverman.com
