About

Multiple Grammy-Nominee Curtis Stewart is changing the orchestra world.  As a violinist and composer, Curtis reimagines classical arrangements by melding the classical and jazz world.  His innovation and passion comes through in his performances. In addition, to Curtis’s own solo work, Curtis will reflect on his work as the Joyce C. Willis Artist-in-Residence and include performances from school and community groups Curtis has worked with.

Praised for “combining omnivory and brilliance” (The New York Times), seven-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated violinist and composer Curtis Stewart translates stories of American self-determination to the concert stage. As a solo violinist, composer, Artistic Director of the American Composers Orchestra, professor at The Juilliard School, member of award-winning ensembles PUBLIQuartet and The Mighty Third Rail, and Sphinx Medal of Excellence recipient, he realizes a vision to find personal and powerful connections between styles, cultures, and musics.
