Praised for his uniquely beautiful playing and his vivid and mature artistry, violinist Oliver Neubauer is swiftly establishing himself as a distinctive and compelling presence on the international classical music scene. First prize winner of the 2023 Susan Wadsworth Young Concert Artists International Auditions, Oliver is an inaugural YCA Jacobs Fellow and is managed worldwide by Young Concert Artists.
Following his acclaimed debuts last season at New York’s Merkin Hall and Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center – “a nuanced, profound interpretation of [the Bartók Solo Sonata]” (Washington Classical Review) and first performances at London’s Wigmore Hall – “the playing was bright, clean, and characterful” (The Strad) – Oliver’s 2025-26 season includes his Carnegie Hall recital debut in Weill Hall as recipient of the Juilliard School’s 2024 Gershen Cohen Award. This recital, featuring a unique all-French program and including a dance collaboration with Pierre Boulez’s Anthèmes I, is emblematic of his commitment to creative and personal programming. Other highlights include his concerto debuts with the Brevard Philharmonic and the Kennett Symphony, tours around the U.S. with both YCA on Tour and Musicians from Marlboro, appearances at the Kronberg Academy’s Casals Forum, and performances in France and elsewhere in Europe as a newly named laureate of the Fondation Gautier Capuçon.
In past seasons, Oliver has performed at leading festivals and series including the Marlboro Music Festival, Music@Menlo, Verbier Festival Academy, Four Seasons Workshop, Palm Beach Chamber Music Society, Chamber Music Northwest, Parlance Chamber Concerts, Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, Music from Angel Fire, Summerfest La Jolla, Bravo! Vail, Chamber Music Sedona, the Rolandseck Festival (Bad Honnef, Germany), the Friends of Chamber Music Kansas City, Apex Concerts, Mostly Music, Music in the Vineyards, Art in Avila in Curaçao, the Buffalo Chamber Music Society, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He has appeared in venues including Carnegie’s Weill and Zankel Halls as well as Symphony Space, Alice Tully Hall, David Geffen Hall, and Wigmore Hall.
