Tim Fain, violinist.

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up May 2008 Tim Fain is quickly emerging as a leading violinist of the younger generation, possessing “everything he needs for a first-rate career,” (Washington Post). Adventurous in spirit and exciting on stage, he is “a charismatic young violinist with a matinee idol profile, strong musical instincts, and first rate chops,” according to the Boston Globe. An Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, he was recently selected as one of Symphony Magazine’s “Up-and-Coming” young musicians in 2006.  Fain spends his summer 08 once again with Music at Marlboro, and debuts with the Brooklyn Philharmonic at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park. Next season, he continues his tour with the Philip Glass Ensemble in Europe, appears at Ravinia’s Rising Star series and performs at the Bach Series at Caramoor. Orchestral engagements pair him with the Rockford and Wheeling symphonies. 2007/08 highlights included his debut with the Baltimore Symphony under Marin Alsop in a performance of Aaron Jay Kernis’ Lament and Prayer, and appearances with the Maryland Symphony, the Boise Philharmonic, and the Champaign-Urbana Symphony at the Krannert Center. He also played the solo violin part of Einstein on the Beach in a concert version of Philip Glass’ opera at Carnegie Hall and gave a recital at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. During 2006-2007 he was the soloist with the Flagstaff Symphony, the Fairfax Symphony, the Chappaquah Symphony, Curtis Chamber Orchestra at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and the symphonies of Meridian (MS), Fort Smith (AR), Fox Valley (WI), Long Bay (SC), and Westmoreland (PA), among others. He gave recitals and educational residencies at the St. Vincent College (PA), Vanguard Concerts (OH), and a residency at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Vail Bravo! Festival. In addition, he toured with the Rossetti Quartet and Jean-Yves Thibaudet across the Netherlands before returning for recitals at the Frick Collection, Flagler Museum, Portland Chamber Music Festival and Indianapolis Chamber Music Society.  Fain made his New York City concerto debut with the New York Chamber Symphony conducted by Gerard Schwarz at Alice Tully Hall in 2002, and has been soloist with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival. Abroad, he has appeared with the Mexico City Philharmonic, Orquesta Filarmónica de Buenos Aires in Argentina, and at the Spoleto Festival in Italy, the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Tim Fain is also in demand as a superb chamber musician. He has performed with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and at New York’s Bargemusic, and he is first violinist of the Rossetti String Quartet. He has also appeared at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Ives Festival in Boston. He has toured nationally with “Musicians from Marlboro” and performed at festivals including Ravinia, Bridgehampton, Santa Fe, Caramoor, Bard, Cooperstown, Chamber Music Northwest, Vail Valley, Moab, and Martha’s Vineyard. Also a fervent champion of contemporary composers, his debut  CD on the Image Recordings label reflects his inquisitive passion and intellect with a sampling of works by Bach, Kreisler and Kevin Puts, Mark O’Connor, Daniel Ott, and Randy Woolf. He was hailed for his solo violin performance onstage with New York City Ballet, performing alongside the dancers in the company’s premiere of Benjamin Millepied’s “Double Aria.” He has also appeared with the Mark Morris Dance Group, the Seán Curran Company, and the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company in the U.S. and abroad. He continues to pursue his interest in jazz and recently appeared at the Jazz Standard with composer and saxophonist Patrick Zimmerli. Fain made his film debut in 2005 on the soundtrack of the Fox Searchlight movie Bee Season, in which he plays the voice of Richard Gere’s violin. After winning the 1999 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Tim Fain gave acclaimed debuts in the Young Concert Artists Series at the 92nd Street Y in New York, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.  A native of Santa Monica, Tim Fain is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, studying with Victor Danchenko, and The Juilliard School, where he worked with Robert Mann. He currently resides in New York City. b i o.....rr e p e r t o i r e.....rr e v i e w s.....rw e b s i t e back to roster...up . . . .
