Signed exclusively to Decca Classics in 2020 at the age of 24, American violinist Randall Goosby is acclaimed for the sensitivity and intensity of his musicianship alongside his determination to make music more inclusive and accessible and bring the music of underrepresented composers to light.
Highlights of Randall Goosby’s 2024–2025 season include debut performances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Sir Mark Elder; the Minnesota Orchestra and Thomas Søndergård; the National Arts Centre Orchestra and Alexander Shelley; the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Dalia Stasevska; and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Michele Mariotti. He also joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra on its U.S. tour led by Edward Gardner.
Goosby returns to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the Utah Symphony. He appears in recitals across North America and Europe as a soloist and with the Renaissance Quartet.
Goosby was a first prize winner in the 2018 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. In 2019, the Young Classical Artists Trust, in partnership with Music Masters in London, named him the inaugural Robey Artist. In 2020, he became an Ambassador for Music Masters, a role that sees him mentoring and inspiring students in schools around the United Kingdom.
A former student of Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho, he received his bachelor’s, master’s, and artist diploma degrees from The Juilliard School. He is an alumnus of the Perlman Music Program and studied previously with Philippe Quint. He plays the Antonio Stradivarius, Cremona, “ex-Strauss,” 1708, on a generous loan from the Samsung Foundation of Culture.
