Robyn Bollinger
violin
Daring, versatile, and charismatic, violinist Robyn Bollinger is Concertmaster of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Currently the youngest female Concertmaster in the country, she has also appeared as Guest Concertmaster with the Boston Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the North Carolina Symphony, and the Indianapolis Symphony.
Ms. Bollinger has been recognized for her innovation and entrepreneurship with a 2016 Fellowship from the Lenore Annenberg Arts Fellowship Fund for her multimedia performance- and recording project, entitled “CIACCONA: The Bass of Time.” She was previously awarded an Entrepreneurial Musicianship Grant from New England Conservatory for her ground-breaking “Project Paganini,” a performance project featuring all twenty-four Paganini Caprices.
Having made her Philadelphia Orchestra debut at age twelve, Ms. Bollinger regularly performs as soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician across the United States. She plays the c. 1718 "Bostonian" Stradivarius violin on loan from a private donor arranged through the Reuning Artist Society.
