Tai Murray, violin
Acclaimed as "superb" by The New York Times, twenty-six year old violinist Tai Murray is a rising star of her generation increasingly in demand for both recitals and orchestral engagements. She has performed on the stages of Berlin's Konzerthaus, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, Shanghai's Concert Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall and has collaborated with a wide range of conductors and instrumentalists including Marin Alsop, Richard Goode, Alan Gilbert, Jaime Laredo, Dmitry Sitkovetsky and Mitsuko Uchida.
During the 2008/09 season, she returns to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and will make debuts with the Shanghai Symphony, London's BBC Symphony and the BBC Scottish Symphony orchestras, among others. Other recent debuts include the Atlanta and Dallas symphony orchestras, the National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra as well as re-engagements with the Chicago, St. Louis, and Baltimore symphony orchestras. Ms. Murray is also an avid recitalist having performed programs in Boston, Chicago, La Jolla, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Philadelphia with pianist Gilles Vonsattel. She returns this season to Philadelphia in collaboration with pianist Lambert Orkis, presented by the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
A dedicated chamber musician, Ms. Murray is a member of the conductor-less East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO). She has been on tour numerous times with Musicians from Marlboro and was a member of Lincoln Center's Chamber Music Society II (2004-2006).
A native of Chicago, Ms. Murray studied with Yuval Yaron and Franco Gulli at Indiana University and Joel Smirnoff at The Juilliard School. Winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2004, Ms. Murray is currently a BBC New Generation Artist (2008-2010).
