David Radzynski, violin

DAVID RADZYNSKI currently a graduate from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University in Bloomington, was born in 1986 in New Haven, Connecticut, where he began studying the violin at the age of six.

As a winner of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra Young Musicians Competition in 2001 (senior division), David appeared as a soloist with the orchestra in September of 2002, playing Beethoven Romance # 1, with Victor Yampolsky conducting. “The young player performed with grace and confidence,” reported Barbara Zuck in her Columbus Dispatch review.

In 2004 David was finalist in Johansen International Competition in Washington, D.C., and in Stulberg International Competition in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 2005 David appeared as soloist with the Polish National Philharmonic in Warsaw, playing a world premiere of Elegy for violin and strings composed by his father, Jan Radzynski. In 2006 David was awarded First Prize in the solo competition, Senior Division, of ASTA, Ohio.

In recent years David performed several full length recitals at the Ohio State University and in the Columbus Museum of Art in his home town Columbus, and also at Ohio University in Athens at an invitation of the School of Music there.  “His approach to performance is straightforward and focused, but the music remains deeply alive with emotion,” reported Lynn Green in his Columbus Dispatch review.  He also performed recitals at the Skokie Public Library in Illinois on the Young Steinway Concert Series, and at the Bexley Public Library in Ohio.   

In the past several years David participated in various summer music programs in the US, Israel, France, Canada, England and Sweden: in the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem Summer Institute for Strings, in the Perlman Music Program on Shelter Island, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, the Orford Music Festival, the Sarasota Music Festival, the Aurora Chamber Music Festival, the Prussia Cove Music Seminar and at the Summer Course Villefavard in Limousin, France. He studied violin and was coached in chamber ensembles by Itzhak Perlman, Peter Salaff, Robert Mann, Clive Greensmith of the Tokyo Quartet, Gerhard Schulz of the Alban Berg Quartet, and by members of Cavani Quartet and Fine Arts Quartet.

In the summer of 2009 David Radzynski gave three full length recitals in Israel, one of which was performed at the Jerusalem Music Center and was broadcast on the radio nationwide. His major violin teachers include Almita and Roland Vamos, Paul Kantor, and Mauricio Fuks. David currently studies privately with Prof. Kevork Mardirossian in Bloomington, Indiana.
