Violinist Joshua Brown is an alumnus of the Music Institute of Chicago, recipient of a 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and 2nd Prize-winner and Audience Award-winner of the 2024 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. He presents his debut solo album of violin sonatas by Robert Schumann with pianist Paolo Giacometti. “The struggle that Schumann so openly expresses through his music continues to bring me solace and companionship in difficult times,” says Brown. “I hope that you can find similar comfort in it, and enjoy the perspective that Paolo and I have brought to this music that we both love.”
