“[Hadelich] is a real find…he displayed complete command of the material [Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 2]…This is not a sure-fire concerto to wow a Bowl audience with…but wow the crowd he did.”

Consistently cited in the press for his “gorgeous tone” (New York Times), “poetic communication” (Washington Post) and “fast-fingered brilliance” (The New Yorker), Augustin Hadelich has catapulted into the top echelon of young violinists. After his sensational debut last summer with the New York Philharmonic under Alan Gilbert at the Bravo! Vail Valley Festival, he was immediately invited to play again with the Philharmonic in Vail this summer, as well as the Caramoor Festival in September and a subscription concert during the 2012-13 season.

 

During this past season, Mr. Hadelich played extremely well-received debuts with the symphonies of Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Colorado, Phoenix, Seattle, Utah and Vancouver. He will debut this season with the Netherlands Philharmonic (at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw), RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra/Dublin, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Nashville Symphony, San Diego Symphony, the Aspen Chamber Symphony and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, as well as tour Brazil with the São Paulo State Symphony under Yan Pascal Tortelier and play his second recital at Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. New concertos that he will be performing include the Adès concerto with Chautauqua Symphony, the Britten concerto with Alabama Symphony, and the Ligeti concerto with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

 

In the United States, Augustin Hadelich has also performed with the symphonies of Alabama, Columbus, Florida, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Louisville, New Orleans and Syracuse, as well as the Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic and the IRIS Chamber Orchestra (Memphis), among others. Festival appearances include Aspen, Blossom, Bravo! Vail Valley, Chautauqua (where he made his American debut in 2001), and the Hollywood Bowl.

 

Worldwide, Augustin Hadelich has performed with the Badisches Staatstheater Orchestra/Karlsruhe, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie/Saarbrücken-Kaiserslautern, Dresden Philharmonic, Helsinki Philharmonic, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Nürnberg Philharmonic, Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de México, Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, Staatsorchester Stuttgart, Tokyo Symphony, and the chamber orchestras of Budapest, Cologne, Hamburg and Lucerne, among others.  He has collaborated with such renowned conductors as Kazuyoshi Akiyama, Lionel Bringuier, Justin Brown, Alan Gilbert, Hans Graf, Giancarlo Guerrero, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Günther Herbig, Hannu Lintu, Fabio Mechetti, Juanjo Mena, Kazushi Ono, Peter Oundjian, Christof Perick, Vasily Petrenko, Christoph Poppen, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Larry Rachleff, Stefan Sanderling, Michael Stern, Mario Venzago and Kazuki Yamada.

 

Awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in the UK, Mr. Hadelich is the 2006 Gold medalist of the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis and winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009.  He made three Carnegie Hall appearances in 2008, including a highly-acclaimed recital debut and his orchestral debut, performing the Brahms Double Concerto under Miguel Harth-Bedoya with cellist Alban Gerhardt and the Fort Worth Symphony.

 

Mr. Hadelich has recorded two CDs for Naxos: Haydn’s complete violin concerti with the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, and Telemann’s complete Fantasies for Solo Violin. For AVIE, a CD of masterworks for solo violin (including the Bartók solo sonata) was released in October 2009.  A second disc for AVIE, Echoes of Paris, was released in March 2011 with pianist Robert Kulek.

 

Also an enthusiastic recitalist, Mr. Hadelich  has appeared at The Frick Collection (New York), Kennedy Center, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, Clark Memorial Library (Los Angeles), La Jolla Music Society, Kioi Hall (Tokyo), the Louvre, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Vancouver Recital Society, to name a few. As chamber musician, he has been a participant at the Marlboro, Ravinia, and Seattle festivals, and has collaborated with Midori at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater.

 

Born in Italy in 1984, the son of German parents, Augustin Hadelich holds a graduate diploma and artist diploma from The Juilliard School, where he was a student of Joel Smirnoff.  He plays on the 1723 “Ex-Kiesewetter” Stradivari violin, on loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the generous efforts of the Stradivari Society.
