For Philippe Quint, the violin has always been a voice for storytelling and discovery, transforming each performance into a musical journey shared with the audience. “It’s about bringing that human connection back to the concert hall,” he recently told The Strad magazine.

With multiple Grammy Award nominations for his albums, Quint has forged an international career notable for its unconventional artistic path, broad repertoire, and unwavering commitment to exploration, earning praise for his “searingly poetic lyricism” (UK Daily Telegraph) and “breadth of tone and passion” (The New York Times).

​As Founder and Music Director of Magellan Arts and Magellan Chamber Orchestra, he is now entering the organization's second season, continuing the Chamber Music Immersive Series in partnership with the Chicago History Museum through innovative performances and impactful educational programs. 

​Quint has performed with world-class orchestras including the London Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. His dedication to contemporary music is evident in numerous premieres by today’s foremost composers, including Errollyn Wallen, Lera Auerbach, William Bolcom and John Corigliano, to name only a few.  His boundless curiosity led him to also create original multimedia format programs such as The Muse, Homage to J.S. Bach, Charlie Chaplin’s Smile, and Astor Piazzolla: Between Angels and Demons.
