Winner of the 2006 Avery Fisher Career Grant, American violinist Erin Keefe has established a reputation and is earning praise as a compelling artist who combines exhilarating temperament and fierce integrity. A top prize winner of several International Competitions, she recently took the Grand Prizes in the Valsesia Music International Violin Competition (Italy), the Torun International Violin Competition (Poland), the Schadt Competition and the Corpus Christi International String Competition, and was the Silver Medalist in the Carl Nielsen, Sendai (Japan) and Gyeongnam (Korea) International Violin Competitions, resulting in performances and immediate re-engagements in the US, Europe and Asia.

As a member of Lincoln Center’s prestigious Chamber Music Society Two program for the 2006-09 seasons, Ms. Keefe appeared in numerous programs at Lincoln Center as well as on tour throughout the US.
