Described by Strad Magazine as "Particularly impressive for her surpassing degree of imagination and vibrant sound," violinist Deborah Buck has built a strong musical career as soloist, chamber musician, and recitalist. Ms. Buck's recitals have been heard over the airways via broadcasts of the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago for WFMT and for "Sunday's Live" in Los Angeles for KKGO. Additionally, she has been a recitalist at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC and soloist with many orchestras including the Little Orchestra Society at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and the West Virginia Symphony. Her National television debut came by way of a feature guest spot on the Family Channel's, "It Takes Two" hosted by Dick Clark. Her violin solos for television helped breathe life back into the re-mastered American Silent Film classic, "The Scarlet Letter," (Turner Classic Movies). As soloist and chamber musician, she has recorded for both Arabesque Records and the North South record label. Ms. Buck has been the recipient of many honors and awards, to include the Los Angeles Philharmonic-sponsored Corwin Foundation Grant, the Leni Fe Bland Career Grant, and was a winner in the National Contemporary Record Society Competition, the Sorantin National Young Artist Competition, and the International Young Artist Competition at Corpus Christi. In addition to her quartet life, she is in high demand as a collaborator. Notably, she had the honor of performing alongside Itzhak Perlman in a performance of the Brahms Sextet in G Major in Shelter Island, N.Y. Most recently, Ms. Buck has enjoyed working with harpsichordist, Kenneth Cooper at the Berkshire Bach Society and with Ani Kavafian at the Mostly Music series in New Jersey. In keeping with her versatile musical life, Ms. Buck has held concertmaster positions with the St. Matthew's Chamber Orchestra (L.A.), the Philadelphia Virtuosi (P.A.), the North South Chamber Orchestra (N.Y.), and has led the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Perspectives Ensemble, the Long Island Philharmonic, and the Jupiter Symphonies (N.Y.) Ms. Buck was educated at the Juilliard School as a Starling Scholar of Dorothy DeLay and the University of Southern California as a student of Robert Lipsett where she was the recipient of the Jascha Heifetz Violin Prize. She has spent the last seven summers serving on the faculty at the Kinhaven Music School in Weston, Vermont. Ms. Buck performs on a violin by Vincenzo Postiglione, graciously on loan by the Maestro Foundation, Cremona.
