Grammy-Award-nominated violinist Philippe Quint Welcomed to Columbia Artists Roster
Philippe Quint, a well-known and celebrated, multi-Grammy-Award-nominated violinist, is joining the Columbia Artists roster for worldwide general management.
Thought to be one of the most versatile and imaginative artists, Quint is internationally recognized for his unique approach to classical core repertoire, his championing of contemporary composers through commission and premiering new works, and his art for rediscovering neglected works.
Described as “truly phenomenal” (BBC Music Magazine), Quint will be managed by Senior Vice President & Artist Manager Stefana Atlas and Artist Manager Martin Wittenberg.
Quint’s 2019-2020 season is filled with unique, diverse highlight performances, including return performances with the Bournemouth Symphony under the baton of Andrew Litton; North Carolina Symphony under Rune Bergmann; Bochumer Symphoniker led by Steven Sloane; Bilbao Symphony Orchestra with conductor Jose Miguel Perez-Sierra; and Louisiana Philharmonic led by Carlos Miguel Prieto.
This season, Quint will make his debut with the Baltimore Symphony led by Carolyn Kuan, Singapore Symphony under the direction of Andrew Litton, and the Thailand Philharmonic.
Further, Quint’s chart-topping discography is comprised of nearly 20 award-winning commercial releases—most recently, he made his debut on Warner Classics Label with a CD entitled Chaplin’s Smile, a compilation of 13 original arrangements of songs by Charlie Chaplin that received acclaim in publications like Forbes, Gramophone, The Strad, Strings Magazine, and Limelight Magazine.
The release also inspired Quint to create and produce a multimedia production titled Charlie Chaplin’s Smile, which will debut worldwide throughout the2019-2020 season at the 5hg International Tchaikovsky Festival, Ravinia Festival, Baltimore Symphony, and Philharmonic Society of Orange County (as well as orchestral premiers in Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, and more).
An American violinist of Russian heritage, Quint is constantly in demand, appears regularly with major orchestras and conductors worldwide at venues ranging from Carnegie Hall in New York to Gewandhaus in Leipzig.
