Jessica Oddie
Violinist Jessica Oddie has recently returned to New York City after working as the Assistant Concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. As a chamber musician and soloist, she has performed recitals at Teatro La Fenice (Venice), Le Poisson Rouge, Lincoln Center, Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, the Sydney Opera House, and the Melbourne Recital Centre.
Following an acclaimed performance of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Jessica recorded two albums of chamber music for the Naxos and Tactus recording labels, including the premiere recording of Italian composer Gino Gorini’s chamber works.
In Europe, Jessica’s performances have been described as “brilliantly convincing” (Schwäbische Zeitung), while Polish music magazine Muzyka21 has called her playing “revelatory” for her “energy, commitment, and artistry.”
In Australia, Jessica has performed as concertmaster for Victorian Opera (Melbourne), and works regularly with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria, the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra, and as a core violinist of Inventi Ensemble.
Her studies were at Juilliard, Yale, and in Germany, with Gerhard Schulz of the Alban Berg String Quartet.
