Dovid Friedlander | Violin 1
Associate Concertmaster
The Assad Meymandi and Family Chair
Dovid Friedlander joined the North Carolina Symphony as Associate Concertmaster in 2005. Mr. Friedlander is seated in the orchestra next to his former teacher, North Carolina Symphony Concertmaster Brian Reagin, with whom he studied until the age of l3 in his home town of Pittsburgh, PA. Another principal teacher was Huei Sheng Kao, Assistant Concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony. From ages nine to sixteen, Mr. Friedlander attended the Meadowmount School for Strings, where he studied with Sally Thomas of The Juilliard School of Music.
For two years following his time at Meadowmount, Mr. Friedlander toured Europe as the soloist and Concertmaster for the Blue Lake International Music Festival performing the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn violin concertos. At age nineteen, he attended the National Repertoire Orchestra in Breckinridge, CO and the next summer was Associate Concertmaster under the leadership of Leonard Slatkin at the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival in Germany. Additionally, he studied under Kathleen Winkler at the Santa Barbara Music Festival and under the direction of great conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Claudio Abbado, Robert Spano and Charles Dutoit at the Tanglewood Music Festival. At Tanglewood, Dovid studied chamber music with members of the Juilliard String Quartet and the Boston Symphony.
After high school, Mr. Friedlander studied with William Preucil at the Eastman School of Music and when Mr. Preucil accepted the position of Concertmaster at the Cleveland Orchestra, Dovid continued his studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music. While at CIM, Dovid won the Jerome Gross award for the most improved student and the Darius Milhaud award with his string quartet. He joined the San Antonio Symphony at age 23, becoming Assistant Concertmaster at age 24. Mr. Friedlander has been a violinist at the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for the past four years.
Dovid enjoys cooking, watching movies and NFL and college football as well as playing with his German shorthaired pointer Bernstein. He is both an avid chamber music player and, for the last three years, an avid triathelete, as well.
