Boston native Julia Glenn has been hailed as "remarkable," "gripping," and "a brilliant soloist" by the New York Times and performs internationally on modern and baroque violins. She recently joined the Lydian Quartet and the faculty of Brandeis University after teaching for three years at the Tianjin Juilliard School and touring with the Tianjin Juilliard Ensemble. She has appeared on stages including Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall, Sanders Theatre, Jordan Hall, the Beijing Recital Hall, Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, and Shanghai Concert Hall. In January of 2016 she gave the world premiere of Milton Babbitt’s violin concerto to critical acclaim; her article on the work was published in 2022 in Contemporary Music Review. Glenn is a 2018 graduate of Juilliard’s C.V. Starr doctoral program, where she worked with Joseph Lin and Cynthia Roberts. She obtained her master’s from New England Conservatory in 2013 with James Buswell and her bachelor’s in linguistics magna cum laude from Harvard University in 2012. With a deep interest in exploring and sharing the music and culture of China, Ms. Glenn draws on her backgrounds in phonology and Chinese language to open fresh avenues in perception and performance. Her recently recorded solo album “The Road” featuring new and recent works by Chinese-speaking composers will be released fall 2023.
