Scott Slapin Biography

Scott Slapin is one of the most popular and richest Violist who was born on May 18, 1974 in Newark, New Jersey, United States.

To date, there have been nine recordings of Slapin’s chamber music made by the Wistaria String Quartet, the Penn State Viola Ensemble, the American Viola Quartet, and the Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo. Slapin was the first person to record the complete cycle of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas (originally for violin) on viola, a set which he rerecorded in 2006. He has premiered and recorded many 20th and 21st Century recital works featuring the viola, and he is the featured soloist on the first album produced by the American Viola Society. His 2008 recording, Paganini’s 24 Caprices, marked the first time Paganini’s 24 Caprices had been recorded on the viola since Emanuel Vardi in

1965. After more than a decade of performing together as members of several orchestras, Slapin and Solomon transcribed for viola duo some of the symphonic repertoire’s best-known works and in 2017 made an unprecedented two-viola recording of four of them: Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, Rossini’s Overture to the Barber of Seville, as well as an unabridged version of all four movements of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

At the age of eighteen he was performing daily as the solo violist in the New York City production of Gerald Busby’s Orpheus In Love, a chamber opera about Orpheus recast as a viola player. He was subsequently invited to premiere Busby’s Muse for Solo Viola in Carnegie’s Weill Hall, and he gave countless solo recitals and performed with ensembles throughout the United States and South America. Slapin has written extensively for the Penn State Viola Ensemble and the Wistaria String Quartet, and he is a former fellow at the Montalvo Arts Center in California.He can be heard playing solo Bach, Paganini Caprices, and his own compositions on various soundtracks for film and TV.
