Aubree Oliverson, violinist
Praised for her evocative lyricism and joyful, genuine approach, young American violinist Aubree Oliverson is proving to be one of the most compelling artists of her generation, distinguishing herself with clear, honest, and colorful performances, which have been described as “powerful… brimming with confidence and joy” by the (Miami New Times).
Recent highlights include solo engagements with the San Diego Symphony, Utah Symphony, Pacific Symphony, Florida Orchestra, Buffalo Philharmonic, Charleston Symphony, and North Carolina Symphony, along with a seven-concert summer tour with the Utah Symphony. Aubree continues to build an international presence through recent orchestral appearances with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Orquesta Clásica Santa Cecilia, Brno Philharmonic, Zagreb Philharmonic, Thailand Philharmonic, and Israel Camerata Jerusalem, among others.
The violin concertos she has championed vary widely, from cornerstones of the repertoire such as Brahms and Dvořák, to lesser-known works by Pergolesi (1730s) and Julius Conus (1896), Mieczysław Weinberg’s Concertino (1948), Reena Esmail’s The Blue Room (2007), and Salvatore di Vittorio’s Voyages of Aeneas (2022). Of a recent performance of Weinberg’s Concertino, San Francisco Classical Voice wrote, “Her performance combined exquisite virtuosity with deep emotional expression.”
Aubree has collaborated with distinguished artists including Gil Shaham, performing Bach’s Double Concerto with the Orchestra of the Americas and most recently in chamber music at the Aix-en-Provence Easter Festival, with Anne Akiko Meyers in duo works by Bach, Glass, and Halvorsen (after Handel). She has appeared in recital with Jean-Yves Thibaudet and toured together as a chamber music partner in European capitals including London, Dublin, Berlin, and Paris. Recorded in Aspen in the summer of 2025 with pianist Yanfeng Tony Bai, her debut solo album, Aubree Oliverson: Live from the Aspen Music Festival, was released in June 2026.
Oliverson is a graduate of the Colburn Conservatory, where she studied with Robert Lipsett. She plays a Guarneri del Gesu violin, thanks to the generosity of the Barthelemy family through the Beare’s International Violin Society and the Château de Larraldia, France.
