Award-winning violinist Joshua Peckins “…is among the most active recitalists in New England,” (The Enterprise) performing solo concerts of “particular brilliance” (Worcester Telegram). Peckins has presented solo recitals nationally and internationally throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, including the renowned Figaro Hall of Palace Pálffy (where Mozart himself presented his “The Marriage of Figaro”), Crystal Hall in Japan, the Haydn and Mendelssohn Halls in Austria, as well on the Artist Series of the Bled Festival in Slovenia, the Salzburg Festival at the Mozarteum, the Orford Festival in Canada, and the Cervo Festival in Italy.
His way of making music intensive, profound, intelligent and on stage he shows a sensitiveness and poetic phantasy in his performances which rarely are to find among the young violinists of our time.
M. Frischenschlager, President of the International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition
In his ‘Music Speaks’ project, Peckins presents music by Bach with newer pieces by living and upcoming geniuses from around the world in an immersive solo violin experience. The programme of these January and February 2022 concerts include Bach solo Sonata n. 1 and the Biber Passacaglia.
Composers Edition is proud to present Improvisations available for perusal and purchase through our website, as well as other works by Odaline de la Martinez.
