“Goosby plays like an angel with nothing to prove.” – Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

“The important thing for me, in any musician, is sound. And his is beautiful. It immediately hits the listener.” – Itzhak Perlman

A protégé of Itzhak Perlman, Randall Goosby debuted with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2021 at the age of 25 and has since risen to the first rank of international violin soloists. Acclaimed for the sensitivity and intensity of his musicianship as well as his determination to make music more accessible, Goosby is passionate about highlighting the works and influence of underrepresented composers like William Grant Still and Florence Price. Goosby will be accompanied by pianist and Music Academy alum Zhu Wang.
