Lauded for their “fine bow control and excellent intonation” (Cleveland Classical), violinist Michael Ferri enthralls listeners with their “style and vivacity” and an exploratory method of creating music that provokes thought and introspection.
Michael operates on the tenet that to make music means to create an inclusive space, to convene and collaborate, and to forge something deeply meaningful together that could not possibly be created apart.
With a dynamic career spanning the solo, chamber, and orchestral realms, Michael regularly appears on the national stage to critical acclaim. Ferri is first prize winner of the Mika Hasler Young Artist Competition, the Shepherd School of Music Concerto Competition, and the Duquesne Young Artists National Competition. Additionally, they won 2° Premio of the Luigi Zanuccoli International Violin Competition, Fourth Prize Laureate of the Houston Symphony Ima Hogg Competition, and recipient of the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. Michael has appeared as soloist with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia, the Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Women’s Orchestra, and many other orchestras across America.
