Gabriel Boyers

Gabriel Boyers, violinist, has been praised for his “rock steady finger and bow technique” by New Music Connoisseur Magazine and has been described by The Boston Phoenix as an “elegant, accomplished player” and as one of "the most talented young string players in town." As recitalist and chamber musician, Gabriel has been heard at numerous festivals and halls (Sandor Vegh Institute- Prague, Banff Centre for the Arts- Canada, Vail Valley Bravo Music Festival, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall etc.) and has participated in many world-premiere performances, including as concertmaster for the Carnegie Hall premiere of "Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra" with DJ Radar, as well as the premiere of “For Lou” by John Luther Adams, which he also recorded for New World Records.

He has collaborated with composer Lee Hyla to develop “Cadenza,” a work for solo violin based on portions of composer’s Violin Concerto and with pianist Keith Kirchoff, Boyers gave the world premiere of Leo Ornstein’s 3rd Sonata for Violin and Piano, a newly discovered work approximately 90 years old. In Boston, he performs regularly with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Odyssey Opera, and the Cantata Singers, among others. In addition to his performing activities, Boyers is owner of Schubertiade Music & Arts (www.schubertiademusic.com), dealing in rare Musical Autographs and Antiquarian Music and Ephemera, was President of the Professional Autograph Dealers Association from 2013-2018, and is on the Archives Advisory Council of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
