This unique relationship through Erick Friedman to the vocal Leopold Auer legacy of violin playing is a critical component of his style. He has performed as soloist/concertmaster with the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Philharmonia Virtuosi, New York Virtuosi, New York String Ensemble, Tchaikovsky Chamber Orchestra, Taipei City Symphony Orchestra, Dance Theater of Harlem, Queens Symphony, Masterworks, Music at St. Ignatius and Long Island Philharmonic. He has appeared as soloist for Alexander Schneider, and in frequent classes for Josef Gingold and Franco Gulli. His diversity is shown by his work as concertmaster of many Broadway shows, recording for James Galway, to performances in various historical settings of the violin. He has recorded the violin concerto by Louis Pelosi for CRI, music of Fritz Kreisler for Erick Friedman on Kultur Video, over one hundred film soundtracks and over 37 commercially available recordings on both violin and musical saw. He has been featured in “Strings Magazine,” “Korean Monthly Music Magazine,” “Newsday,” and was a featured guest on “Emeril Live”. He recently founded a Long Island’s most interesting conductorless-string ensemble called “Kammermusik” for young string talent. He possesses a large solo and recital repertoire, and particularly enjoys his performances in the duo recitals with his wife, Heawon Kim, pianist.

He has received international acclaim for his performance of the “Divination by Mirrors” by Michael Levine with the New Century Chamber Orchestra and the New York Virtuosi. His performance for “Ancient Voices of Children” by George Crumb, in performance for the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, led to the recording of this work for Bridge Records, which was nominated for a Grammy.
