'''Philippe Quint''' (born March 26, 1974) is an American classical [[violin]]ist.
Two time [[Grammy Award]]-nominee violinist Philippe Quint captivates his audience with charismatic presence and “searingly poetic lyricism” ([[Daily Telegraph]], UK) in repertoire that ranges from [[Bach]], [[Mozart]], [[Beethoven]], and [[Brahms]] to the leading [[composer]]s of our time. With seven critically acclaimed recordings and on the wings of the 2010 Grammy Award Nomination for a rendition of Korngold’s Violin Concerto, which jumped to top 20 in [[Billboard charts|Billboard’s]] Classical Chart during its first week of release, [[Naxos Records|Naxos]] will release Quint’s newest CD in August 2010 - works by [[Niccolo Paganini]] arranged by [[Fritz Kreisler]]. Mr. Quint, whose unusual surname is of Italian origin, was born of a rich musical heritage in [[St. Petersburg]], [[Russia]]. He plays on a 1723 "Ex-Kiesewetter" [[Antonio Stradivari]] violin on loan to him from Clement and Karen Arrison through the generous efforts of the [[Stradivari Society]].


==Biography==
Mr. Quint’s highlights this season include debuts with [[Komische Oper Berlin|Berlin Komische Oper Orchestra]] for their 2009 New Year's Concerts under the direction of [[Carl St. Clair]], [[Chicago Symphony Orchestra|Chicago Symphony]] with [[David Afkham]], [[San Diego Symphony]] with Bromwell Tovey, a tour of [[Germany]] with Nordwestdeutsche Symphoniker and an 18 concert US tour with Cape Town Philharmonic.

Quint was born on March 26, 1974, in [[Saint Petersburg|Leningrad]]. He studied at [[Moscow]]'s Special Music School for the Gifted with Russian violinist Andrei Korsakov and made his orchestral debut at the age of nine. After immigrating to the [[United States]] in 1991, he earned both bachelor's and master's degrees from [[Juilliard School]], graduating in 1998. He is now an American citizen.<ref>{{cite web | author= | title=Philippe Quint biography and discography | url=http://www.naxos.com/artistinfo/Philippe_Quint/1049.htm | publisher=Naxos | year=2008 | accessdate=2008-04-22}}</ref>

He has released 15 recordings to critical acclaim and has won several awards, including his 2001 debut album, a recording of [[William Schuman]]'s Violin Concerto, which was named "Editor's Choice" by both ''[[Gramophone (magazine)|Gramophone]]'' and ''Strad'' magazines and received two [[Grammy Award]] nominations.

A recent critique by The [[Chicago Tribune]] hailed Mr. Quint: "What a terrific soloist the young Russian born American violinist Philippe Quint makes! Here is a fiddle [[virtuoso]] whose many awards are fully justified by the brilliance of his playing". "A Legend in the Making," was one critic's prediction, while "flawless," "dazzling," "extraordinary", and "astonishing" are only a few adjectives awarded him by the press.
