VC ARTIST | Jennifer Pike — "Simply Spectacular"

British-Polish violinist, Jennifer Pike, has been praised by critics and audiences for her "captivating range of tonal colors, dynamic inflection and articulation"

A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and the University of Oxford, Jennifer is a former prize winner at the Menuhin Competition. In 2002, she was awarded Britain's coveted BBC Musician of the Year accolade, at the age of 12.

Jennifer is currently an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust and Foundation for Children and the Arts, and patron of the Lord Mayor’s City Music Foundation. In 2020, she was awarded an MBE for services to classical music.

Jennifer has collaborated with artists such as Anne-Sophie Mutter, Nikolaj Znaider, Nicolas Altstaedt, Sir Bryn Terfel, sarod players Ayaan and Amaan Ali Bangash, among others.

Her recent debuts include solo engagements with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Staatsorchester Rheinische Philharmonie, Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Zürcher Kammerorchester, and all the BBC and major orchestras across the UK.

She currently performs on a 1708 Matteo Goffriller violin.
