Benjamin Beilman

Benjamin Beilman has earned international acclaim for his passionate performances and distinctive tone—The New York Times called it “muscular with a glint of violence,” while The Strad praised its “pure poetry.” Praised for his instinctive sense of form and color, he uncovers new depths in familiar works and expands the violin’s expressive range through his commitment to contemporary music. Recent and upcoming orchestral highlights include his subscription debut with the Berlin Philharmonic—following a 2024 US tour with the orchestra—and appearances with the Minnesota Orchestra, Dresden Philharmonic, Antwerp Symphony, and Nashville Symphony. Beilman records for Warner Classics and has received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a London Music Masters Award. He performs with the ex-Balaković F. X. Tourte bow (c. 1820), and plays the “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù from 1740, on loan from the Sasakawa Music Foundation.
