\u201cFoyle\u2019s playing is remarkable\u201d \u2013 BBC Music Magazine<\/p>\n
Born in 1991, British-Dutch violinist Michael Foyle, is proving to be an artist of great class and elegance on the concert platform. Praised for \u201cplaying of compelling conviction\u201d (The Daily Telegraph), his powerful communication style has won over audiences internationally.<\/p>\n
Michael launched his career by winning the Netherlands Violin Competition 2016. His performance of Szymanowski\u2019s Violin Concerto n\u00b01 with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra led to an immediate invitation to give his debut in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. His Wigmore Hall recital debut followed that year, described by The Strad as ‘full of sparkling detail, with tonal beauty and incisive rhythmic clarity, balancing wit and poetry.’<\/p>\n
In recent seasons he has made concerto debuts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Mozart No.5), English Chamber Orchestra (Prokofiev No.1), Polish Baltic Philharmonic (Elgar) as well as returning to Rotterdam Philharmonic (Korngold) and Youth Symphony Orchestra of Russia in Moscow’s Great Hall and House of Music (Mendelssohn and Brahms). \u200b
In recital, he regularly appears in the UK\u2019s most prestigious venues, including Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Buckingham Palace, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Bridgewater Hall and Usher Hall, as well as at festivals including Brighton, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Deal, Edinburgh, Leicester, Newbury, St Magnus and Windsor, frequently being broadcast on BBC Radio 3.<\/p>\n
Recitals at international festivals have taken him recently to Stravinsky \u00e0 Voreppe (France), Grachtenfestival Amsterdam, Delft, Groningen and The Hague (The Netherlands), Salieri-Zinetti Verona (Italy), Cervantino (Mexico), Ver\u00e3o Cl\u00e1ssico (Portugal), Evgeny Mravinsky Saint Petersburg (Russia), Puplinge Classique (Switzerland) and New York Chamber Music (USA).
Michael also plays chamber music in Trio Balthasar.<\/p>\n
In January 2023, his CD release of all ten Beethoven Sonatas on Challenge Records with pianist Maksim \u0160t\u0161ura received five stars in BBC Music Magazine. Previous recordings include Lutos\u0142awski and Penderecki: Complete Violin and Piano Works (Delphian Records) and The Great War Centenary: Debussy, Jan\u00e1\u010dek, Respighi Sonatas, both of which received similar press acclaim (‘vividly and beautifully conceived and executed’ – BBC Music Magazine, ‘richly detailed and impassioned performances’ – The Daily Telegraph, ‘Foyle produces an absolutely gorgeous sound’ – Fanfare).<\/p>\n
Alongside his solo career, Michael is violin Professor at \u201cCologne Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Tanz\u201d and at London Royal Academy of Music (the youngest appointed in the institution’s 200-year history). He is invited to give masterclasses across the world, from Canada to China.<\/p>\n
Michael plays a Gennaro Gagliano violin from 1750 on private loan.<\/p>\n
