Pittsburgh Symphony Concertmaster Appointed to Faculty at Carnegie Mellon

David McCarroll will begin teaching in the Fall of 2024

 

The School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University has welcomed Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) concertmaster David McCarroll to its faculty. He will serve as an Artist Lecturer in Violin and will begin teaching in the Fall 2024.

McCarroll already has a strong teaching pedigree, having lectured at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, and given masterclasses at the San Francisco Conservatory, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, and the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. McCarroll’s education included studies at the Yehudi Menuhin School, New England Conservatory of Music, and the Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin.

McCarroll was the winner of the 2012 European Young Concert Artists Auditions, and made his concerto debut with the London Mozart Players in 2002. He has since appeared as a soloist with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich (Simone Young, Grafenegg), Hong Kong Sinfonietta (Christoph Poppen), and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (Manfred Honeck), among others.

From 2015 to 2022, he served as the violinist of the renowned Vienna Piano Trio, with whom he toured and recorded extensively. The Trio’s recording of the complete Brahms piano trios was awarded the 2017 Echo Klassik prize and in 2020 the Trio’s Beethoven recording won the Opus Klassik award.

McCarroll plays on a 1761 violin by A&J Gagliano.

"I am very much looking forward to working with a small class of violin students at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Music," McCarroll said, "guiding them through these formative years of study and giving them the tools, both musical and technical, to achieve an ever-expanding range of expression."
