Margaret Batjer

As a violin soloist, chamber musician, and teacher, Margaret Batjer has established herself as a versatile and respected artist worldwide. She has appeared as a soloist with America’s leading orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Batjer has also performed with leading European ensembles such as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Prague Chamber Orchestra, the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra (of Ireland), Berlin Symphony Orchestra and the Hallé Orchestra.

An esteemed chamber musician, Batjer has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival, La Jolla Summerfest, Sarasota Music as well as the Naples and Salzburg Festivals in Europe. In 2020, she formed the Los Angeles Piano Trio with colleagues Fabio Bidini and Andrew Shulman.

Ms. Batjer has had an extensive recording career over the last several decades. Her most recent recording with the LA Chamber Orchestra includes the live premiere of the Pierre Jalbert Violin Concerto, and works by Bach, Pärt and Vasks released on the BIS label. She recorded the Bach Concerto for Two Violins with Salvatore Accardo and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe for the Philips label, and later a 2003 Deutsche Grammophon recording pairing Batjer and Hilary Hahn as soloists with Jeffrey Kahane conducting the LA Chamber Orchestra. She has also made numerous chamber music recordings on the EMI, Nuova Era and BMG labels.

Batjer is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. She is Adjunct Professor of Violin at the USC Thornton School of Music, and on the violin faculty at the Colburn School.

Become enraptured by two Baroque concerts that are an absolute must for any music lover. A program that features countertenor Reginald Mobley on Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater, and a commission by Jeff Beal, Concerto for Two Trumpets, will be performed by David Washburn and Paul Merkelo.
