Violinist Rachel Barton Pine performs with the world's leading orchestras, including the Chicago, Detroit, and Vienna Symphony Orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Camerata Salzburg. She has recorded 40 acclaimed albums, many of which have hit the top of the charts. In September 2022 Cedille Records released her Violin Concertos by Black Composers Through the Centuries: 25th Anniversary Edition, which features a new recording of Florence Price’s Violin Concerto No. 2, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Jonathon Heyward. She has appeared on The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, A Prairie Home Companion, and NPR’s Tiny Desk, and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and New York Times. Last season, Rachel solo appearances included the premiere of Billy Childs: Violin Concerto No. 2 written for her. She amazed fans around the world, when with just 3 1/2 hours notice, she stepped in at Ravinia, to perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Maestra Marin Alsop conducting, when the soloist Midori had to pull out at the last minute. Her RBP Foundation assists young artists through its Instrument Loan Program and Grants for Education and Career, and since 2001, has run the groundbreaking Music by Black Composers project. She performs on the “ex-Soldat” Joseph Guarnerius “del Gesù” (Cremona 1742), on lifetime loan from her anonymous patron. rachelbartonpine.com
