Welcome

"The number of violinists who play the instrument as sonorously as Erick Friedman belong on the Fingers of One Hand Club, meaning you do not have to count very high to run out of members... He is not only a master violinist but also one with a distinctly personal and identifiable style of playing." (Masters of the Violin Series Concert, Carnegie Hall)
Donald Henahan, The New York Times, 1979

"The virtuosity was staggering... the kind of programme that only he, of today's virtuosos, can really carry off"
--The Strad Magazine, 1998

Erick Friedman, the renowned American virtuoso violinist, has had a truly outstanding career as a performer. He made his New York debut at the age of fourteen, and at seventeen began studying with Jascha Heifetz, wth whom he recorded Bach's Concerto for Two Violins. Currently a full Professor of Music at Yale University, Mr. Friedman is still an active performer, conductor, and recording artist. An excerpt from his latest release, "The Romantic Violin," can be heard by clicking on the violin scroll at the top left of this page.
