Lauded by the New York Times as a “brilliant soloist” and by Strad
Magazine for her “marvelous and lyrical playing,” violinist Emilie-Anne
Gendron enjoys an active and versatile career based in New York City. A
deeply committed chamber musician, she is a member of the Momenta
Quartet (currently Artists-in-Residence at Binghamton University), whose
eclectic vision encompasses contemporary music of all aesthetic
backgrounds alongside great music from the past. Emilie has been on the
roster of the Marlboro Music Festival and the touring Musicians from
Marlboro since 2011, and appears with A Far Cry, Chamber Orchestra of
Philadelphia, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Talea Ensemble, Sejong
Soloists, and the IRIS Orchestra (as one of its concertmasters). She is
a founding member of Ensemble Échappé, a new-music sinfonietta, as well
as the Gamut Bach Ensemble, in residence with the Philadelphia Chamber
Music Society. Her extensively varied international appearances have
included recitals in Sweden and at the Louvre in Paris; festivals in
Russia, Finland, and Jordan; and recently, major venues in China, South
Korea, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, in collaboration with such
artists as Bruno Canino, Leon Fleisher, Richard Goode, Edgar Meyer, and
Gil Shaham, among many others.
A dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, Emilie was trained at the
Juilliard School where her teachers were Won Bin Yim, Dorothy DeLay,
David Chan, Hyo Kang, and Axel Strauss. She holds the distinction of
being the first person in Juilliard’s history to be accepted
simultaneously to its two most selective courses of study, the Doctor of
Musical Arts and the Artist Diploma. She holds a B.A. in Classics from
Columbia University (magna cum laude and with Phi Beta Kappa honors),
and a Master of Music degree and the coveted Artist Diploma from
Juilliard. For more information, please visit
