During the 2009-1010 season her performances included recital debuts in Japan and New York City, and appearances with the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Turku (Finland) Philharmonic, and the Gottingen, Vancouver, Sacramento and Syracuse Symphonies.
In recital she has performed the complete Paganini Caprices and the complete Bach Sonatas and Partitas (each cycle in a single evening). She was the second violinist to play John Corigliano’s entire Red Violin Concerto, working closely with him on the interpretation.
Pine has appeared as soloist with many of the world’s most prestigious ensembles, including the Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, Montreal, Atlanta and Baltimore Symphonies and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Overseas, she has, among others, performed with the Vienna and Budapest Symphonies and the Royal Philharmonic. She has worked with such renowned conductors as Charles Dutoit, Zubin Mehta, Erich Leinsdorf, Neeme Jarvi, Marin Alsop and Placido Domingo.
Pine holds prizes from several of the world’s leading competitions, including a gold medal at the 1992 J.S. Bach International Violin Competition in Leipzig. She was the first American and, at age 17, the youngest person to ever win this honor. Other top awards came from the Queen Elisabeth (Brussels 1993), Kreisler (Vienna 1992), Szigeti (Budapest 1992) and Montreal (1991) International Violin Competitions.
A Chicago native, Pine began violin studies at age three and made her professional debut four years later at age seven with the Chicago String Ensemble. She first appeared with the Chicago Symphony at age ten. Pine resides in Chicago with her husband. She performs on the Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu (Cremona Italy, 1742), known as the “ex-Soldat” on generous loan from her patron.
