Sasha Margolis, Violin

Praised by the Washington Post for his “incisive, vibrato-rich tone,” Sasha Margolis has performed classical and improvised music all over the world, including the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, Japan, and Spain.

As co-leader, fiddler, and singer for the eclectic ensemble Big Galut(e), Mr. Margolis has won the Simcha Prize at the 2017 International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam, been heard on Performance Today and WNYC’s New Sounds, appeared at the Glimmerglass and Central Vermont Chamber Music Festivals, the New York Klezmer Series, and concertized from Honolulu to San Francisco to Tennessee.

As a chamber musician, he has collaborated with pianists Sanford Margolis and Jeremy Denk, members of the Pittsburgh, Detroit, Dallas, and National Symphonies, Theodore Arm, and members of the Corigliano, Pro Arte, and Arianna Quartets.

At Spoleto Festival USA, Mr. Margolis was concertmaster for U.S. premieres of little-known operas by Janacek, Henze, Bellini and Donizetti, also playing and acting in Mauricio Kagel’s La Trahison Oral.

Other career highlights include appearing as a strolling violinist on ABC’s Lost, and playing for NBA star Grant Hill’s wedding. His Klezmer-themed novel, The Tsimbalist, was published in 2016.
