Victoria Bramble, Violin
A dynamic and versatile violinist from South Florida, Victoria Bramble is quickly establishing herself as both a dedicated orchestral player and passionate chamber musician. For several years, she held a tenured position as Assistant Principal Second Violin with the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra (where she also serves as Acting Principal Second), and performs regularly with Jacksonville Symphony, Palm Beach Symphony, and Florida Grand Opera. Her other orchestral experience spans performances with The Cleveland Orchestra, New World Symphony, and the Aspen Chamber Symphony during her 2023 New Horizons Fellowship at the Aspen Music Festival.
Victoria has appeared as concertmaster of the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic, the Lynn Philharmonia, and the Eastern Music Festival Young Artist Orchestra. She has performed under distinguished conductors such as Robert Spano, Michael Tilson Thomas, Stéphane Denève, Gerard Schwarz, Marin Alsop, and JoAnn Falletta.
Previously, Victoria performed with the Kourdisma String Quartet, an ensemble formed during her undergraduate time at Lynn Conservatory. The group gave numerous recitals throughout South Florida and twice at The Kosciuszko Foundation in New York City. Their final project was the culmination of a historical performance seminar on Haydn string quartets, presented in collaboration with the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society, where they performed on the museum’s historic Stradivarius “Decorated Quartet.” During their time together, Kourdisma twice earned first prize in Lynn Conservatory’s Lyric Chamber Music Competition (2021 & 2022), second prize in the 2023 NOLA Chamber Fest (Emerging Ensembles Division), and were national finalists in the 2023 MTNA Chamber Music Competition.
Other honors include her solo debut as winner of the 2022 Eastern Music Festival Concerto Competition and a side-by-side concertmaster role with principal strings of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Summer festival appearances include fellowships at Aspen, the National Orchestral Institute, and Eastern Music Festival, as well as programs with Sphinx Performance Academy, the David Kim Orchestral Institute, and the Josef Gingold Chamber Music Festival.
Victoria earned her Bachelor of Music from Lynn Conservatory, where she studied under violinists Andrés Cárdenes and Elmar Oliveira.
