An avid chamber musician and scholar, violinist Jeremiah Blacklow is known for his sincere playing and uniquely personal style. He began studying violin when he was three, and debuted in Carnegie’s Weill Hall at the age of eight. As a performer, Jeremiah has taken the stage at important cultural centers across the globe including Incheon’s Tri-Bowl, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, New York’s DiMenna Center, Marlboro Music, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jeremiah received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College majoring in Slavic Languages and Literature and completed his Masters in violin performance at the Juilliard School with the support of Dorothy Starling and Fidelity Foundation Scholarships. Jeremiah owes much of his musical growth to devoted teachers Catherine Cho and Itzhak Perlman, who both guided him for over a decade. He is currently a Graduate Center Fellow pursuing a doctoral degree at City University of New York, where he studies with Mark Steinberg.

Jeremiah is a founding member of the Renaissance String Quartet, alongside violinist Randall Goosby, cellist Daniel Hass, and violist Jameel Martin. His work with the quartet has helped fulfill his passion for chamber music and his dedication to community engagement. As a part of every concert tour, the quartet connects with local schools and youth programs to give masterclasses and teach workshops. On his own, Jeremiah has taught over a dozen students through the music program at Zeta Charter Schools in the South Bronx. He is committed to sharing the artistic expression of classical music with people from all communities.

Jeremiah is the Principal Second Violin of the Glimmerglass Opera Festival and a featured artist of The Omega Ensemble. He plays an 1856 Giuseppe Rocca violin, formerly used by legendary violinist Maud Powell.
