Alice Ivy-Pemberton

 

Alice Ivy-Pemberton, 21, began fiddling at age four and studied violin with Nurit Pacht at the Kaufman Music Center in New York for ten years. In 2018, Alice won The Juilliard School’s Violin Concerto Competition and performed John Corigliano’s Red Violin Concerto at Alice Tully Hall. She has performed as a soloist in many venues in New York City, including Zankel Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, and the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage of Carnegie Hall. A passionate advocate for the arts' ability to impact societal change, Alice has sought to promote justice and equality through fundraising, community engagement, and creative collaborations throughout her career. Alice's most recent project, an audiovisual work entitled Drowning Monuments, brings together five newly-commissioned pieces for solo violin by Juilliard composers, each reflecting a part of New York City that will be severely threatened by climate change before the end of the century. A proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship, Alice is pursuing her Bachelor of Music degree under the tutelage of Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho.
