Trent  Johnson Viola Concerto with Brett Deubner viola and Kiev Camerata

Brett Deubner, one of this generation’s most accomplished violists, has inspired worldwide critical acclaim for his powerful intensity and sumptuous tone.  The New Jersey Star Ledger commented,”Deubner played with dynamic virtuosity hitting the center of every note no matter how many there were” and the Strad magazine noted his playing for his “infectious capriciousness.” 
     Recent performances include concerto appearances with over 50 orchestras on 4 continents. Deubner has garnered critical acclaim from solo appearances with such American orchestras as the Grand Rapids Symphony, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony, Missoula Symphony, Peninsula Symphony and acclaimed solo debuts in South American orchestras from Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. Recent concerto appearances in Europe include well received performances with Orchestre Bel’Arte of Paris, the Thuringer Symphoniker of Saalfeld, Germany and the Kiev Kamerata of Ukraine. Brett Deubner is featured in Wikipedia for his viola transcription and recordings of the 2 viola concerti of Frank Lewin with the New Symphony Orchestra of Sofia, Bulgaria.
      Brett Deubner’s commitment to extending the repertoire for the viola is made evident by collaborations with some of today’s greatest composers such as Richard Danielpour, Samuel Adler, Lalo Schifrin, Andrew Rudin, David Del Tredici and several of this generation’s leading young composers. To date, over 80 works for viola including 30 viola concerti and numerous solo and chamber works for viola have been dedicated to and premiered by Brett Deubner.  As a recording artist Brett Deubner has over 15 CD’s to his credit from the Naxos, Centaur, Innova and Albany labels.
     He has collaborated with some of today’s leading conductors such as Ann Manson, Perry So, Lucas Richman, David Lockington, Patricio Aizaga, Oliver Weder and Rossen Milanov. As a chamber music collaborator Deubner has performed with the Tokyo Quartet, the Vermeer quartet, pianists Joseph Kallichstein, Robert Koenig, and Jeffrey Swann, cellists Wendy Warner and Sarah Sant’Ambrogio, clarinetists Guy Deplus and Alexander Fiterstein, violinists Timothy Fain, Stefan Milenkovich, Gregory Fulkerson and Dimitry Sitkovetsky, flutists Ransom Wilson and Carol Wincenc, and New York Philharmonic principal oboist Joseph Robinson and Dallas Symphony principal oboist Erin Hannigan.
     During the 2015-16 season Brett Deubner premiered and recorded Donald Appert’s viola concerto with the Oregon Sinfonietta, performed the world premiere of Frank Levy’s Double Concerto for Viola and Piano with the Olympia Philharmonic Society in Los Angeles, as well as successful performances of Paul Hindemith’s der Schwanendreher Vancouver, Washington, and performances with the Southern Arizona Symphony on a tour of Brazil and a new CD recording of three viola concertos for Naxos.
     In the fall of 2017, Deubner will record and premiere Grammy-award winning composer Richard Danielpour’s viola concerto being specifically written for him. Other highlights of the 2016-17 season include Deubner’s solo debut at the Teatro de Colon in Buenos Aires, performing the Bartok Concerto.
     Brett Deubner is on the faculty at Queens College where he instructs gifted young violists at the Aaron Copland School of Music in New York City. Deubner also serves on the faculty of the Round Top Festival Institute in Texas and the Gramado in Concert International Music Festival in Brazil.
