Artists
Aubree Oliverson, violin

Praised for her evocative lyricism and joyful, genuine approach, violinist Aubree Oliverson is proving to be one of the most compelling artists of her generation, distinguishing herself with clear, honest, and colourful performances, which have been described as “powerful… brimming with confidence and joy” by the (Miami New Times).

“The work…in the virtuosic hands of Oliverson, was a joy to experience.” — New York Classical Review

Passionate about and at ease with all periods of classical repertoire, Ms. Oliverson is committed both to performing the beloved standard works for as many people as possible, as well as bringing lesser-known pieces into their rightful spotlight: “I play music that speaks to me regardless of how often it’s already being played, rediscovering lost masterpieces and composers who deserve more attention, paired with my own fresh take on the classics. It’s my hope that if I love a piece, someone in the audience will too.” Among the works she has championed over the years are the Pergolesi Bb Major concerto, Julius Conus concerto (1896), Weinberg concertino (1948), Reena Esmail “The Blue Room” concerto (2007), Salvatore di Vittorio “Voyages of Aeneas” concerto (2022), and more, alongside her favorite standard repertoire.

Quickly becoming recognized as today’s most sought after pianist, Hsin-I has worked with many artists such as Chee-Yun Kim, William Hagen, Simone Porter, Blake Pouliot, Aubree Oliverson, Steve Erdody, The Calidore String Quartet,  and members of the LA Philharmonic. She also enjoys working with film composers, Marco Beltrami, Ramin Djawadi, Aaron Zigman, Geoff Zanelli, Torin Borrowdale and Siddhartha Khosla.

In September 2017, she recorded her first album with violinist Blake Pouliot for the Canadian label Analekta Records, which was nominated for “Classical Album Of The Year” at the JUNO awards in 2019 and received 5 stars from BBC Music Magazine.  In 2019, Hsin-I toured North America with the”Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience” serving as Assistant Conductor in addition to Solo Keyboardist.
