Edward Dusinberre, first violin

Edward Dusinberre (first violin) was born in 1968 in Leamington Spa, England, and has enjoyed playing the violin from a young age. His early experiences as concertmaster of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain encouraged him to choose music as a profession. He studied with the Ukrainian violinist Felix Andrievsky at the Royal College of Music in London and at the Juilliard School with Dorothy DeLay and Piotr Milewski. In 1990 he won the British Violin Recital Prize and gave his debut recital in London at the Purcell Room, South Bank Centre. Upon completion of his studies at Juilliard Mr. Dusinberre auditioned for the Takács Quartet, which he joined in 1993.

Future projects include a recording of Beethoven's violin sonatas no.9 and 10 with David Korevaar and recitals in England with Charles Owen including the world premiere of a recently discovered violin sonata by Mr. Dusinberre's grandfather, John R. Stainer.

Mr. Dusinberre enjoys writing about music. In connection with the Takács Quartet's forthcoming Beethoven cycles in London and Madrid, he has written articles for the Strad magazine and Guardian newspaper that will be published in the Fall.

Mr. Dusinberre lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife Beth, an archeologist who teaches at the University of Colorado, and their son Sam. He enjoys hiking in the mountains near Boulder and going to the theatre. Never known as one of the more athletic members of his family, Mr. Dusinberre has nonetheless benefited from Boulder's healthy culture of embracing the outdoors. He currently has plans to start training for the 2020 Bolder Boulder, sometime in the future.
