【BIOGRAPHY】

Callum Smart

Callum Smart quickly developed a reputation as one of Britain’s finest young violinists and an innovative pedagogue. He is celebrated for the sincerity of his singing line, combining ‘brilliant technique with the confidence to take risks’ (Bachtrack) and his ‘utterly convincing’ interpretations (BBC Music Magazine). Recognised as a rising star since winning the BBC Young Musician strings category and being a top prize-winner at the Menuhin Competition, Smart now enjoys regular concert appearances in Europe, North America, and Asia. This season sees him return to Wigmore Hall, direct the Northern Chamber Orchestra, and perform the Elgar, Schnikkte, Bruch, Mendelssohn and Dvorak Concertos. Previous season highlights include performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Hallé Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, European Union Chamber Orchestra, and others. As a recitalist, Smart has performed at London’s Wigmore Hall, the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Auditorium du Louvre in Paris, and at a number of European festivals. Now with 3 recital discs to his name, his latest ‘Transatlantic’ was a top 30 album on the UK classical charts and earned Smart features as Classic FM and Scala Artist of the Week. Smart is a Violin Professor at the Royal Northern College of Music. He continues his work towards diversification and accessibility of classical music with mentorship roles at Orford Musique, the Benedetti Foundation, Music Masters, and Tonebase, as well as his Instagram account with 60k+ followers.
