One of the most prominent American concert artists of his generation, Glenn Dicterow, Chairman of the Graduate Program in Orchestral Performance at Manhattan School of Music, joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster in 1980 and has since performed as its soloist every year. His extraordinary musical gifts became apparent at the age of 11 when he made his solo debut in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He went on to win numerous awards, including the Young Musicians Foundation Award, the Julia Klumpke Award, and the Bronze Medal in the International Tchaikovsky Competition (1970). A graduate of Juilliard, he was a student of Ivan Galamian. Other teachers include Erno Neufeld, Eudice Shapiro, Naoum Blinder, Manuel Compinsky, Jascha Heifetz, and Henryk Szeryng.

On the New York Philharmonic’s 1998 tour of Asia he performed the Barber Violin Concerto in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Over the past few seasons he has been the featured soloist in concertos by Prokofiev, Menotti, Rozsa, Korngold, Barber, Mozart, Brahms, Bruch, Kernis, Szymanowski, and Husa under the batons of Yuri Temirkanov, Kurt Masur, Andre Previn, Christian Thielemann, Colin Davis, David Robertson, and Lorin Maazel.
