Violinist, pianist, vocalist and aerial acrobat. Aria in the Sky releasing Gershwin and classical music singles in 2024.
Bonjour! Newspapers around the world, including The New York Times and Washington Post, have described Janice Martin’s violin playing as “brilliant” and “splendid” with “a warm and richly resonant tone” where “perfection was never in question”.
Here in her return to music online, she celebrates Gershwin with the startling breadth of her multi-instrumental talents. taking to the piano for the 100th birthday of "Rhapsody in Blue" and dancing through "An American in Paris" on violin. For her touching rendition of the 1937 classic "They Can't Take That Away from Me", she plays guitar and sings as if her heart is breaking.
No, there is no performer quite like Janice Martin. She's a Stradivari Society recipient who achieves virtuosity as a violinist, pianist, vocalist and, most uniquely, as an Aerial Acrobatic Violinist. Janice has toured the world with her productions and been a featured guest artist-soloist in many of the world’s greatest halls, including Carnegie Hall, the Rudolfinum (Prague), Suntory Hall (Tokyo), the The White House and Library of Congress (Washington D.C.). She's toured and performed with internationally-acclaimed Cirque de la Symphonie for the Philadelphia Orchestra, The San Francisco Symphony, the Boston Pops and many more.
The Gershwin singles were the first in her Janice Martin 2024 singles series. The breathtaking Sonata No. 3, "Ballade", Op. 27 by Eugene Ysaye and rich tones of "Romance No. 1, Op. 22" by Clara Schumann, from her critically acclaimed classical album with pianist Rachel Franklin, were played on the 1685 "Le Marquis Doria" Stradivarius. Her new release by Camille Saint-Saens, "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 28" was also played on the "Marquis Doria" Strad, on loan from owner Joseph Burstein.
