Judith Davidoff
After musical studies and her public debut as a cellist at age 12 in her native Boston, she was a founding member of the Helikon String Quartet and taught at the New England Conservatory and the Longy School of Music. She came to New York at the invitation of Noah Greenberg to join the famed New York Pro Musica as viola da gambist. Fluent on a number of historical string instruments, she is widely known for her teaching and performances on the gamba, including performances with the New York Philharmonic under both Zubin Mehta and Kurt Masur. She has been on the music faculties of Columbia Teachers College and Sarah Lawrence College and also teaches privately. Ms. Davidoff is the artistic director of the New York Consort of Viols and was cellist of the Arioso Trio. Her recitals, lectures, workshops, and research have taken her throughout North America, Brazil, Israel, Sweden, Taiwan, and Turkey, where she lived three years doing research on Turkish folk music and receiving private instruction on the saz and the Black Sea kemenche. Her doctoral dissertation includes a catalog of 20th-century music for the viol, and her recorded performances cover the 13th through 21st centuries, reflecting a wide range of repertoire and styles.
All of us who love early music are directly or indirectly indebted to Judith Davidoff, and we are pleased to honor and acknowledge her contributions to the genre.
