Dr. Immanuel Abraham
Performer • Composer • Educator • Author
Dr. Immanuel Abraham is an award-winning violin soloist, educator, orchestra director, author of "A Performer-Composer's Approach to Interpretation" ©2018 (139pgs), and composer behind the "24 Caprices for Solo Violin".
He has taught strings at every level, from elementary string-orchestras in the Detroit Public Schools to years of Violin and Viola lessons for South Dakota State University and every single level in between.
He is @TheViolinDoctor on all major social media platforms and administrator of The Violin Guild, serving over 73,000 bowed string players worldwide.
While still a student, he began premiering his own music locally in 2010. These were well received across campus at his alma-mater, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. By 2020, the solo works became his "24 Caprices for Solo Violin".
They have since sold thousands of copies and become repertoire for auditions, study, and performance worldwide. The University of Arizona, Fred Fox School of Music describes them as, “...a masterpiece of globalism and diversity”.
As an educator, he has been the Professor of Strings for South Dakota State University (2023 - 2025) and MusicProfessor.com (2018 - 2019), violin technique instructor for Tucson Jewish Academy and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp's Masterworks Orchestra in Twin Lake, Michigan. Orchestra Director for Carpenter Elementary School, Durant Turri-Mott Elementary, Neithercut Elementary, and Freeman Elementary in the Detroit Public Schools and Simle Middle School's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade orchestras. He also directs Legacy High School's Concert Orchestra and advanced Chamber Orchestra for the Bismarck Public Schools in North Dakota.
As a performer, he has been the Concertmaster for: Woodbine Productions, Prairie Repertory Theatre, Arizona Symphony Orchestra, Arizona Contemporary Ensemble, NEWorks Philharmonic Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, Music Director for the Scoundrel & Scamp Theater, and many other ensembles.
Organizations recently featuring Dr. Abraham include PBS, ASTA, ESTA, The Entertainer, The Menuhin-Dowling Violin Program, Southwest Strings, Tucson Film Festival, South Dakota State University, String Masters, The Key To Change, SHAR Music, Fiddlershop, The Community School of Music & Arts, Arizona Jewish Post, the Arizona Daily Star, and more.
Dr. Abraham's upcoming project is the solo album recording his "24 Caprices for Solo Violin". It will be recorded with all 3rd edition edits including bowing and fingering. Dr. Abraham will make this album abundantly precise for all study of these works.
