Tully Hall in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and in
Houston, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Rome, Prague, Bucharest, Sofia,

Lawrence has
performed as soloist with the Charlotte, Richmond, Anchorage, Shreveport,
Greensboro, Charlottesville and Waco symphonies, as well as the Sofia
Philharmonic Orchestra in Bulgaria. He has premiered sonatas by contemporary
American compositional voices Laura Kaminsky and Judith Shatin, and chamber
works by Michael Rothkopf and Lawrence Dillon. His release of the complete
violin works of the American composer Arthur Foote on the New World label was
“highly recommended” as “beautifully played” by the Washington Post, and heard
on the Ken Burns PBS series Not for Ourselves Alone; his second CD of American
violin sonatas, recently released by New World, was hailed as “vital playing”
and “a labor of love” by ClassicsToday.com. He is also heard with renowned
flutist Carol Wincenc on a recording of American flute quintets released by
Bridge Records, and named as 2012 Critics’ Choice by American Record Guide.
Lawrence
received his musical education at the Juilliard School and continued his
chamber music study at the Meadowmount School in Westport, N.Y., joining the
faculty in 1980 and teaching there each summer until 1994, when he became dean
of Vermont’s Killington Music Festival. After serving as Killington’s artistic
director from 1997 through 2004, he founded the Green Mountain Chamber Music
Festival. Since 1990 he has taught at the University of North Carolina School
of the Arts, where he serves as chair of the string department; in 2007 he was
recognized with the school’s Excellence in Teaching Award.
The Community Music Academy would like to thank UNCW's eTeal and the Landfall Foundation for their generous support.
