Winner of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Arnaud Sussmann has distinguished himself with his unique sound, bravura and profound musicianship. Minnesota’s Pioneer Press writes, “Sussmann has an old-school sound reminiscent of what you'll hear on vintage recordings by Jascha Heifetz or Fritz Kreisler, a rare combination of sweet and smooth that can hypnotize a listener. His clear tone [is] a thing of awe-inspiring beauty, his phrasing spellbinding.”
Electric Violinist: performer, composer & educator. Ben went electric in the early 1980s and set about researching and promoting the electric violin with fervour. The depth that he has taken this study is unparalleled. His performances are deeply atmospheric, often challenging the listener with soundscapes that go beyond musical definition. There are no boundaries here, only what can be done with electrified strings and a bow. Ben plays the first instrument to be defined as an Electric Violin, produced by Leo Fender in 1958. Truly one of a kind.
