Violist Paul Neubauer’s exceptional musicality and effortless playing led The New York Times to call him “a master musician.” He recently made his Chicago Symphony subscription debut with conductor Riccardo Muti and his Mariinsky Orchestra debut at the White Nights Festival. He also gave the U.S. Premiere of the newly discovered Impromptu for viola and piano by Shostakovich with pianist Wu Han. At age 21, Mr. Neubauer was appointed Principal Violist of the New York Philharmonic and he held that position for six years. He has appeared as soloist with over 100 orchestras, including the New York, Los Angeles, and Helsinki Philharmonics, National, St. Louis, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, and Bournemouth Symphonies, and Santa Cecilia, English Chamber, and Beethovenhalle Orchestras. He’s also premiered viola concertos by Béla Bartók (a revised version of the Viola Concerto), Reinhold Glière, Gordon Jacob, Henri Lazarof, Robert Suter, Joel Phillip Friedman, Aaron Jay Kernis, Detlev Müller-Siemens, David Ott, Krzysztof Penderecki, Tobias Picker, and Joan Tower. He performs with SPA, a trio with soprano Susanna Phillips and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, with a wide range of repertoire, including salon-style songs. He has been featured on CBS’s Sunday Morning, A Prairie Home Companion, and in Strad, Strings, and People magazines. A two-time Grammy nominee, he has recorded on numerous labels including Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, RCA Red Seal, and Sony Classical. Mr. Neubauer appears with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and is the Artistic Director of the Mostly Music series in New Jersey. He is on the faculty of The Juilliard School and Mannes College.
