THE BEN HOLDER QUARTET

Ben Holder, age 35, is the most acclaimed and exciting jazz violinist in the UK. His classical studies began at the age of six and were complemented by training at the Birmingham Conservatoire. An introduction to jazz came in his early teens – classic masters such as Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson and Stephane Grappelli – and led Ben to truly find his place as a musician.

Ben possesses an innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players), breathtaking technical ability and true showmanship on stage. He offers flawless musicianship, heaps of energy and personality and a visible passion for his craft.

Ben's accolades and performances bear testimony to these abilities. Often playing across the UK, Europe and further afield, he is the first-call jazz violinist for many of the country's top venues, line-ups and studios.
