He gave his first solo public performance at the age of eleven and at seventeen was accepted as a scholarship student of Dorothy DeLay at The Juilliard School. A top prizewinner in the 1988 Naumberg International Violin Competition, Peter Winograd was recognized as one of the most promising young American artists. Since his critically acclaimed New York debut, he has been heard with orchestra and in recital across the country. Mr. Winograd joined the American String Quartet in 1990, and when time allows, he continues to appear as soloist in the United States and abroad.
