Axel Strauss
violin; string and piano chamber music
Equally passionate about teaching and performing, German violinist Axel Strauss joined the San Francisco Conservatory of Music faculty in 2001. In 1998 he won the Naumburg Violin Award in New York, and in the seasons since has performed throughout North America as recitalist and soloist with major orchestras. His international concert appearances have taken him to Germany, Japan, China and Eastern Europe. Strauss has served as guest concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic as well as the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. His recordings include Kodály’s Duo for Violin and Cello, Brahms’s Sonatas, Op. 120, Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47 and Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words. Most recently, Naxos released his recording of the 24 Caprices by Pierre Rode. Strauss taught violin at the Music Academy in Rostock, Germany, while completing his studies with Petru Munteanu. In 1996 he began working with Dorothy DeLay at The Juilliard School, and he became her teaching assistant in 1998. He performs on a violin by J.F. Pressenda, Turin 1845, generously loaned to him by the Stradivari Society in Chicago.
