Randall Goosby, Violin

MUSIC ADVISORY COUNCIL CONCERT - American violinist Randall Goosby first performed as soloist with orchestra at the age of nine with the Jacksonville Symphony. When he performed with the New York Philharmonic on a Young People’s Concert at Avery Fisher Hall at the age of thirteen, The New York Times raved that he “exerted a masterly level of control and lavished an exquisite tone… his performance won him a deserved standing ovation for its sheer virtuosity.” In addition to formal concerts, Mr. Goosby shares his love of music in outreach programs for public schools, children’s hospitals and programs across the country. He is currently on faculty at Opportunity Music Project, a nonprofit organization which provides free lessons, instruments and mentoring for children from low-income families in New York City, and gives performances through Concerts in Motion, another NYC-based nonprofit which provides private house concerts for elderly and otherwise homebound patrons.
