Gina McCormack is a Professor of Violin at the RNCM and is well established as one of Britain’s leading violinists and chamber musicians, switching effortlessly between concertos, recitals, quartet-playing and orchestral leading.
Gina led the Sorrel Quartet for 13 years, making frequent BBC Radio 3 broadcasts with the group as well as recording 12 CDs for the Chandos label, including the complete cycle of Shostakovich quartets and works by Britten, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Elgar. She then spent two years leading the Brodsky Quartet, with tours to Mexico, Australia and NZ, and around Europe. Her love of dance led to a long collaboration with choreographer Matthew Bourne, leading the orchestra for his many iconic shows. She is now concentrating on her solo work, especially recitals with her regular duo partner, pianist Nigel Clayton.
