Blake Pouliot with Henry Kramer

Described as “immaculate, at once refined and impassioned” (ArtsAtlanta), violinist Blake Pouliot has anchored himself among the ranks of classical phenoms. A tenacious young artist with a passion
that enraptures his audience in every performance, he has established himself as “one of those special talents that comes along once in a lifetime” (Toronto Star).

Praised by The Cleveland Classical Review for his “astonishingly confident technique” and The New York Times for “thrilling [and] triumphant” performances, pianist Henry Kramer was awarded a 2019 Avery Fisher Career Grant, one of the most coveted honours bestowed on young American artists.
