Antoine Silverman as Einstein with the Philip Glass Ensemble
Le Figaro, the National newspaper of France, said about this performance, “If one comes away with the sense of having come across one of those rare life-changing works, it is mostly because of a team more aware than ever of this unique and timeless musical language... All of the musicians in the Philip Glass Ensemble, notably violinist Antoine Silverman, displayed dazzling lyricism.” –Thierry Hillériteau

Antoine Silverman, hailed as one of New York City's premier concertmasters, music coordinators, and solo violinists, performs regularly as a jazz violinist, bluegrass fiddler, Broadway concertmaster and recording soloist.
Of his album Blue Moods, The New York Times says, "Mr. Silverman displays a masterful and winning command of his instrument . . . [he] certainly deserves the spotlight it is afforded here."
Joel Roberts of All About Jazz says, "Antoine Silverman's singular gifts as a musician, as well as his choice of the violin as his musical voice, lend his work both a freshness and a familiarity that reaches well beyond a traditional jazz audience."
Miles Jordan of Jazz Times says, "I'm pleased to add this remarkable CD to my collection of jazz violinists and recommend that you do, too."
Dainon Moody of Pop Matters Review says, "If you really strain your ears enough, you'll swear you can hear Ella singing softly. Strain a bit closer still and discover it's really his violin."
