Musician

Gregor Huebner

Born:

Gregor Huebner is an award-winning composer and violinist, celebrated by audiences and critics alike for his visionary work across genres. His music has been described by The New York City Jazz Record as "challenging and vivid... seamlessly incorporat[ing] chamber elements with avant garde jazz," while All About Jazz describes him as "a virtuoso with broad experience in large and small classical ensembles." Huebner's recent El Violin Latino, an album exploring the role of the violin in traditional Latin American music, was praised by The Wall Street Journal as "by turns sexy and sly, impassioned and dreamy, his collection of well-known tunes, unexpected arrangements and original compositions brings together far-flung members of the fiddle diaspora." 
As a composer, Huebner's unique musical voice variously integrates improvisation, experimental notation, traditional counterpoint, pop song structures, post-tonal gestures and innovative performance techniques within formal compositional frameworks
