Harumi Rhodes
Violin
Acclaimed by the New York Times as a “deeply expressive violinist,” Harumi Rhodes is a founding member of the 2009 Naumburg Chamber Music Award winning ensemble, TRIO CAVATINA with pianist, Ieva Jokubaviciute, and cellist, Priscilla Lee. Recent highlights include their European debut in Lithuania, U.S. performances with Musicians from Marlboro, and their debuts in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall. Having just completed her residency with Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Two, Harumi was given the honor of having a solo violin sonata dedicated to her by composer Benjamin Lees.
An avid supporter of contemporary music, she has recorded Milton Babbitt’s Sixth String Quartet, and has premiered several works including a piano trio written by Richard Danielpour. In addition, she has recently been named the newest Artist Member of the Boston Chamber Music Society.
Harumi received her degrees from the Juilliard School studying with Ronald Copes and the New England Conservatory as a student of Donald Weilerstein, where she received the prestigious Gunther Schuller Award.
