From a client who purchased a rare first edition sonata as a wedding gift for dear friends: "It was wonderful last night. My husband had told the husband of the couple to bring his cello and we have a grand piano. They were overwhelmed by the gift and immediately sat down and played the first movement and the scherzo. It turns out that they played this and every other piano/cello piece written on the night they met (6 hours)! This music found a good home! From an avid collector: "Many thanks again for working with me concerning the X manuscripts. Truly, I am speechless at your kindness. These will certainly be among my most cherished possessions." Gabriel Boyers, violinist, has been praised for his "rock steady finger and bow technique" (New Music Connoisseur Magazine) and has performed internationally as recitalist, chamber and orchestral musician. Described as an "elegant, accomplished player" by the Boston Phoenix, concerts of his have also been praised by the Boston Globe, which praised one performance as "an exceptional feat of concentration and sympathy." Gabriel has performed at the Sandor Vegh International Chamber Music Festival in Prague, the Banff Centre in Canada, the Young Artist/Music at Noon Series at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, the Peabody/Essex Museum and at Boston's Jordan Hall, among many other places. As a member of the Rembrandt String Quartet, Gabriel performed throughout New England and at the Vail Valley Bravo Music Festival in CO as the "Bravo! Young Ensemble in Residence" from 2002-2004. He has won top prizes at the Stefan Competition of NY and in the Arthur K. Virgin Competition in NH, served as concertmaster of orchestras at the New England Conservatory and elsewhere, and performs regularly with Boston's premiere new-music group, the Callithumpian Consort. Committed to the performance of a wide variety of repertoire, Gabriel served as concertmaster in the sold-out world-premiere of "Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra" with DJ Radar at Carnegie Hall in 2005 and has participated in many other world-premiere performances. In 2006, he premiered "For Lou" by John Luther Adams ("The quartet sang through their rising lines heroically" - www.artsjournal.com) and has also recorded the work for release on CD. More recently, Gabriel was a resident artist at the "Atlantic Center for the Arts" in FL., where he worked with composer Lee Hyla to develop "Cadenza," a work for solo violin based on portions of composer's Violin Concerto. Gabriel holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from both Tufts University and the New England Conservatory, where he studied with Masuko Ushioda and James Buswell. In addition to performing regularly, Gabriel is a dedicated violin teacher, maintains an active private studio, and has taught at several New England schools, including St. George's Academy in RI. A musician with a wide variety of interests, Gabriel is a regular volunteer for a variety of social/political advocacy groups, a student of the Alexander Technique, and a poet whose work appears in The Paris Review and Midstream among other places.
