Nicholas DiEugenio
Violin, Baroque Violin
Violinist Nicholas DiEugenio has been heralded for his “excellent ... evocative” playing (The New York Times), full of “rapturous poetry” (American Record Guide). Nicholas is in-demand as a soloist, chamber musician, and ensemble leader, creating powerful shared experiences in music ranging from early baroque to contemporary commissions. His award-winning album Unraveling Beethoven with pianist Mimi Solomon was released in 2018 by New Focus Recordings, and other recordings include the complete Violin Sonatas of Robert Schumann (Musica Omnia) as well as Into the Silence, a tribute to Pulitzer prize-winner Steven Stucky (New Focus). Nicholas is a core member of The Sebastians as well as Associate Professor of Music at UNC Chapel Hill. He has performed as guest Principal Second Violinist with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Nicholas plays a J.B.Vuillaume violin (1835) as well as a Karl Dennis baroque violin (2011).
Nicholas DiEugenio would like to thank Montgomery Violins of Raleigh for the loan of an original 19th-century instrument for period-specific performances at this year’s Staunton Music Festival.
