Renée Jolles – Past Concerts

Violinist Renée Jolles enjoys an eclectic career as soloist and chamber artist specializing in a wide variety of styles from the Baroque to the contemporary.

Hailed as a “real star” by The New York Times for her New York concerto debut in Alice Tully Hall, she has premiered hundreds of works, including the American premiere of Schnittke’s Violin Concerto No. 2.

Ms. Jolles is a member of the Jolles Duo (harp and violin), Continuum, Intimate Voices, the Bedford Chamber Players (with Baroque harpsichordist Anthony Newman), the New York Chamber Ensemble, and is a concertmaster of the world-renowned, Grammy Award-winning, conductorless Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Committed to recording new music, she can be heard as soloist and chamber artist on the Deutsche Grammaphon, Cambria, CRI, North/South Recordings, Albany, and New World labels.

In 2014, Ms. Jolles inaugurated The Eastman School of Music’s celebrated annual Holocaust Remembrance Concert series featuring faculty performances of neglected masterworks by composers who perished or survived during this time, and modern works based on Holocaust themes.
