Sunday Salon Series: Sphinx Competition Winner: Elena Urioste, Violin

On its October 2008 visit to Krannert Center, the Sphinx Chamber Orchestra brought powerful vision, riveting absorption, intriguing selections, and a legion of outstanding musicians—among them, violin soloist, two-time Sphinx Competition winner, and London Music Masters international career development award winner Elena Urioste, who charmed the Great Hall audience with her passion and startling technique on Ástor Piazzolla’s Invierno Porteño (Winter in Buenos Aires). Now Urioste, who is of Mexican and Basque descent, launches the Sunday Salon Series for the 2009-10 season. Selected by Symphony magazine as “an emerging artist to watch,” Urioste made her debut at age 13 with her win at the Albert M. Greenfield Competition and several years later took the stage at Carnegie Hall as the youngest musician ever featured in the Young Performers Career Advancement Showcase.
