Canadian violinist KAREN GOMYO won the 1997 Young Concert Artists International Auditions just one week after her fifteenth birthday. The following year she became the youngest artist ever to be presented in the Young Concert Artists Series in New York, in a critically-acclaimed debut as recipient of the Summis Auspiciis Prize. The Young Concert Artists Series also presented her Washington, DC recital debut at the Kennedy Center and her New York concerto debut with the New York Chamber Symphony at Alice Tully Hall, playing the Barber Violin Concerto. The 2005-06 season marked Ms. Gomyo's New York Philharmonic debut with six Concerts in the Parks in July, 2005 as well as her Detroit Symphony debut in August, 2005. She made first appearances that season with the St. Louis Symphony under Michael Christie, the Florida Orchestra with Stefan Sanderling and the Honolulu Symphony with JoAnn Falletta; and she returned to the Houston Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony, the Toledo Symphony and many others.
Karen Gomyo will be performing the Khachaturian Violin Concerto May 15-17, 2008 .
