ULI SPETH (violin) completed his undergraduate studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, where he was a student of Harald Herzl of the Pro Arte Quartet Salzburg. The native of Germany participated in numerous performance classes given by Yfrah Neaman, Thomas Brandis, Jaap Schroeder, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, among others. He subsequently earned his Master of Music degree from the Mannes College of Music, where he was a student of Felix Galimir and from whom he received both violin and string quartet training. As a chamber musician, Uli Speth has enjoyed the opportunity of performing alongside well-known soloists and members of the Hagen, Pro Arte, Cavaliere, and Ying Quartets. His recent solo performances of concerti by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, and his recitals with pianist Mary Robbins have earned him praise by the critics for his “brilliant sound and facile fingers” (Austin American Statesman) and “gorgeous tone and stunning technique” (Salzburger Nachrichten). Highlights of the upcoming concert season will include concerto performances by Korngold, Mozart and others. He serves as concertmaster of the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra and Fenimore Chamber Orchestra and serves on the faculties of Hartwick College and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ).

The summer of 2024 will be Speth’s 18th season on faculty with Eastern Music Festival.
