Javier Orman

Uruguayan violinist Javier Orman (1984-) enjoys an expansive and multifaceted career with an international reach. Currently residing in the United States, the press has qualified him as "exciting, vibrant" (La Industria, Peru), "passionate, exuberant" (klassicaa.com) and an “excellent musician, called for great things in his career” (Revista Sinfónica, Uruguay). Born in Israel, Javier grew up in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he was introduced to the violin at the age of four years old by Ludmilla Cavallaro. As a teenager, he played tango, rock and roll, and trained at the intensive seminars given by the National Network of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela. At the age of fourteen, Juventudes Musicales del Uruguay awarded him category “A” in its annual soloist competition, which led to performances in some of the country’s most prestigious auditoriums. He also trained in Buenos Aires with Beatriz Ridilenir. In 2002 he was offered a full scholarship by the College of Charleston in South Carolina to study with Lee-Chin Siow. There, he received numerous awards for his academic achievements in Music and Mathematics, and completed Bachelor degrees in both areas (Magna cum Laude).
