Praised as the "crème de la crème" on
National Public Radio's Performance Today, violinist Cyrus
Beroukhim began his early musical training with Mimi
Zweig in Milwaukee and made his solo debut with the Milwaukee
Symphony Orchestra at the age of 15. He's performed
as soloist and chamber musician in Alice Tully Hall, Weill
Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Peter Norton Symphony Space,
and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; at Bargemusic, the Ravinia
Festival, Verbier Festival and Academy in Switzerland, Norfolk
Chamber Music Festival, Sarasota Music Festival, and the
Keshet Eilon Festival in Israel; and on the Museum of Modern
Art's Summergarden series. A top prizewinner of the
2005 National Federation of Music Clubs Biennial Young Artists
Auditions, he received his Bachelor of Music from the Oberlin
Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Roland and Almita
Vamos; his Master of Music from The Juilliard School, where
he studied with Cho-Liang Lin; and is a Doctoral Fellow at
Juilliard, continuing his studies with Cho-Liang Lin.
Cyrus' 2005-06 season included Concerto performances with the
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in Bern, Switzerland. As
a laureate of the Music Academy of the West, he presented a nationally
broadcasted recital in Santa Barbara. As a recipient of
the Mitzi Foundation Scholarship, he has performed numerous recitals
in Taiwan, where he'll return this year as soloist with the New
York Symphonic Ensemble. An avid chamber musician on both
the violin and the viola, Cyrus is a member of America's Dream
Chamber Artists, Fountain Ensemble, Lenape Chamber Ensemble,
Nova Chamber Artists (with Barbara), and recently formed a duo
with Joey- the Persepolis Duo. Cyrus, Joey, and Barbara
also perform together frequently as a piano trio. An active
performer of new music, Cyrus performs regularly with the Columbia
Sinfonietta and has recorded chamber music of Steven Gerber with
violinists Cho-Liang Lin and Kurt Nikkanen for the KOCH International
label. When Cyrus isn't busy performing and working on
his Doctoral thesis (on Paul Hindemith's String Quartets!), he
enjoys searching the Internet for great deals on everything-
and he finds them! |
