Alexander Gilman is one of the most renowned violinists and teachers of his generation. Since 2013 he has been the artistic director of the LGT Young Soloists, and in 2019 he was appointed visiting professor of violin at the Royal College of Music.
Alongside his activities as a soloist, Gilman has established himself as an internationally recognised teacher, passionate about fostering young talents and holistically preparing them for life as a professional musician. The fact that his students regularly win competitions demonstrates the high quality of his teaching work. By founding the LGT Young Soloists, he has created a unique initiative that promotes young artists. The string ensemble is made up of highly talented soloists from the age of 14 to 23.
From the age of 16 Gilman worked with Dorothy DeLay in New York. He also studied with Zakhar Bron in Cologne and Zurich. A Thomastik-Infeld Artist, Gilman currently plays a violin made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini in Parma, 1769.
