CFC 2022 - July 15-24, 2022

Kevin Kumar, Violin
Artistic Director

Photo of Kevin Kumar
Kevin Kumar has been a violin soloist with orchestras like the Los Angeles Philharmonic and guest concertmaster of orchestras on the U.S. West Coast and around Europe. His true love is chamber music, which he has performed around the world. He is also a studio musician on Hollywood movies, tv shows, and albums.

Kevin's aim as an artist is to be a springboard for listeners and musicians to jump away from old patterns and into a universe that vibrates with wonder. He benefited from a supportive family as well as amazing teachers and colleagues, which led him to understand that building community is just as important as individual artistic excellence. For that reason, he co-founded and co-directs a non-profit organization in Los Angeles called Salastina (salastina.org).

Kevin is a graduate of Stanford and attended USC, Manhattan School of Music, and Columbia University. During the long time off he took to recover from an injury, he was a songwriter/producer for major label pop artists in East Asia. He’s based in Southern California, where he lives with his wife and dotes on his young kids.

​Kevin feels grateful for getting to know this wonderful community while being the co-artistic director of ChamberFest Canandaigua these many years.
