Since winning the Gold Medal of the prestigious International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in 1998, the Icelandic-American violinist Judith Ingolfsson has established herself worldwide as an artist of uncompromising musical maturity, extraordinary technical command and charismatic performance style. Judith Ingolfsson has been heard with more than one hundred orchestras in the United States, including those located in Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Saint Louis, and Washington DC. Abroad, her engagements have included performances in England, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Japan, France, and Hungary. Ms. Ingolfsson was also heard as soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in 2000 on its highly acclaimed 15-city North American tour, highlighted by performances at New York City's Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
In addition to her active performance and recording schedule, Judith Ingolfsson is a dedicated and enthusiastic educator. She gives master classes around the world and has held faculty positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the Cleveland Institute of Music and Encore School for Strings. She is currently Professor at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart and co-artistic director and founder of Festival International "Aigues-Vives en Musiques" in France. Miss Ingolfsson performs on a Lorenzo Guadagnini violin, crafted in 1750, and a Dominique Peccatte bow. These concerts mark her debut with the Monterey Symphony. The Barber Violin Concerto was last performed by the Monterey Symphony in November 1990 with violinist Glenn Dicterow and Clark Suttle conducting. Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 in C major, Op.21 was last performed by the orchestra in 1972 with Haymo Taeuber conducting. Rossini’s sprightly Overture to La scala di seta has never been presented by the orchestra. The virtuoso oboe playing this piece requires will be performed by Bennie Cottone, the Monterey Symphony’s long-time principal oboe player. The Monterey Symphony, under the artistic leadership of Max Bragado-Darman, is the only fully-professional orchestra serving the communities of the Monterey Bay, Salinas, Salinas Valley, Big Sur, and San Benito County. It provides triple performances of a seven-concert subscription series at Carmel’s Sunset Theater and Salinas’ Sherwood Hall, annual holiday concerts, and an extensive youth activities program, including more than 200 visits to classrooms by musicians, which culminates in concerts by the full orchestra for school children. The Monterey Symphony is a
nonprofit, public benefit corporation, supported, in part, through the
fundraising efforts of the Friends of the Monterey Symphony; and grants
from The James Irvine Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard
Foundation, The Harden Foundation, The Robert and Virginia Stanton Fund
