Grant Houston
Violin
Violinist Grant Houston connects with listeners through performances of unbridled energy and emotional magnetism. Devoted to chamber music, Grant’s recent appearances include Ravinia's Steans Music Institute, Yale's Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and the Music Academy of the West. He appears frequently with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, A Far Cry, and Palaver Strings, and most recently as a guest principal with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. A keen proponent of contemporary music, Grant has presented music by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Salvatore Sciarrino, and Bernard Rands, and collaborated with Jeremy Denk and Paul Biss, among others. He counts Donald Weilerstein, Ayano Ninomiya, Vivian Hornik Weilerstein, and Merry Peckham among his mentors, while he has also been coached by luminaries from Itzhak Perlman and Midori to the Cleveland and Juilliard string quartets. Grant performs on a 1757 Bergonzi violin on loan from a private foundation.
