Askonas Holt is delighted to welcome violinist Aubree Oliverson to its roster for general management.

Described as “powerful… brimming with confidence and joy” (Miami New Times) and “masterful” (San Diego Story), the young American is much in demand as a concerto soloist. Recent and forthcoming highlights include performances with the San Diego Symphony (under Edo de Waart), Utah Symphony (Conner Gray Covington), Columbus and Des Moines Symphonies (Carl St. Clair), Pacific Symphony, Roma Tre Orchestra, Brno Philharmonic (František Macek), and the Pasadena Symphony (Nic McGegan), in works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Haydn, Saint-Saens, Dvorak and Barber. In 2021, she joined the Louisiana Philharmonic for a two-week residency during which she performed Beethoven’s Violin Concerto (under Carlos Miguel Prieto) as well as chamber music.

In recital, having made her Carnegie Hall Weill Hall recital debut at the age of twelve, Aubree has performed to sold out audiences at the Grand Teton Music Festival, SOKA Performing Arts Centre, and the SCERA Centre for the Performing Arts, and has upcoming recitals in Rome, Los Angeles, and Ridgecrest, California as part of Midori’s ‘Partners in Performance’ Recital Series.

Aubree currently studies with Robert Lipsett, the Jascha Heifetz Distinguished Violin Chair, at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles. She won the ‘2021 Special Prize of Merit’ for violin at the prestigious Verbier Festival Academy in Switzerland, a National YoungArts Foundation award, was honoured as a United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts, and was selected for the Dorothy DeLay Fellowship and concerto performance at the Aspen Music Festival.

Aubree joins Askonas Holt from the Colburn Artists programme in Los Angeles, and will be managed by Niall Houlihan.
