Curtis Macomber
Violin
Guest Artist
Curtis Macomber is one of the most versatile soloists/chamber musicians before the public today, equally at home in repertoire from Bach to Babbitt. As a member of the New World String Quartet from 1982-93, he performed in virtually all the important concert series in this country, as well as touring abroad. He is a founding member of the Apollo Trio.
His most recent recordings include: violin/piano sonatas of Amy Beach and John Corigliano on Koch International; and "Songs of Solitude," for CRI, an all-solo disc named one of 1996’s best instrumental solo recordings by the N.Y. Observer.
Mr. Macomber is presently a member of the chamber music faculty of the Juilliard School, where he earned B.M., M.M., and D.M.A. degrees as a student of Joseph Fuchs. He is also on the violin faculty of the Manhattan School of Music, and has taught at the Tanglewood, Taos, and Yellow Barn Music Festivals.
