Among his generation’s most honored artists, Elmar Oliveira remains the first and only American violinist to win the Gold Medal at Moscow’s Tchaikovsky International Competition.  He is also the first violinist to receive the coveted Avery Fisher Prize, in addition to capturing First Prizes at the Naumburg international Competition and the G.B. Dealey Competition.

He has premiered works by such distinguished composers as  Penderecki, Gould, Laderman,  Wuorinen,  Tower, Kernis,  Panufnik, Lees,  Flagello, Rosenman,  Aitken, and  Yardumian.  He has also performed seldom-heard concerti by Ginastera,  Rautavaara,  Achron, Joachim, and many others. A prodigious recording artist, he is a three time Grammy nominee.  His discography on Artek, Angel, SONY Masterworks, Vox, Delos, IMP, Naxos, Ondine, and Melodiya ranges widely from works by Bach and Vivaldi to the present.  His best-selling recording of the Rautavaara Violin Concerto with the Helsinki Philharmonic (Ondine)  won a Cannes Classical Award and has appeared on Gramophone’s “Editor’s Choice” and other Best Recordings lists around the world. He was also a Grammy nominee for his CD of the Barber Concerto with Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony as well as the Ernest Bloch and Benjamin Lees Concerti with John McLaughlin Williams and the National Orchestra of Ukraine.
