Musicians

Susan PIEROTTI
violin

Susan PIEROTTI Susan Pierotti began learning the violin at the age of six with Stella and Mary NEMET. With Mary, then a member of ACME--the Australian Contemporary Music Ensemble--she developed a love of 20th century music. In London she continued her studies with Emanuel HURWITZ and on returning to Australia she completed a post-graduate diploma with honours at the Victorian College of the Arts.

Whilst pursuing a successful freelance career, she played for all the major orchestras and chamber ensembles in Melbourne and recorded regularly for the ABC. She was a founder member of the Rantos Collegium, the ELISION Ensemble and Trio Nova, with whom she premiered Innocent Victims by David HOROWICZ. She has also performed contemporary music with the Victorian Time Machine, Melbourne New Music, and was invited to deputize for Pinchas ZUKERMAN in Marc NEIKRUG's Through Roses. In 1988 she also premiered Peter MYERS' Vex in a concert featuring solo violin. On this occasion Clive O'CONNELL for The Age wrote she

` . . .  had mastered the full gamut of technical demands made on her, and was quite confident in her assimilation of their vocabulary  . . .  The various sections were neatly coloured and defined  . . .  Pierotti's refinement  . . .  was managed with distinction.´
Jeremy VINCENT for The Herald commented that `she possesses a fine command of her instrument´ and `paints a most convincing musical picture´.

With ELISION Ensemble she has toured Australia and Europe and appeared on most of its compact discs, including the soloists album After the Fire. She is currently the Deputy Associate Concertmaster of the Orchestra Victoria.

May 1997
