As a soloist, Jeanne Mallow has had an active career performing to criticial acclaim in major concert halls. In New York City, she has performed recitals at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, CAMI Hall, and at the 92nd St. Y series "Meet the Virtuoso," among others. She also performed at the 25th International Viola Congress in Austin, Texas. A review from The Strad remarks that “she is patently gifted, and played with commandingly authoritative and natural musicality, and the virtuosic flair, vibrant rhythmic energy, and keen golden tone of a born performer.”

Jeanne Mallow has also performed chamber music at Avery Fisher Hall with the Perlman Music Program in the "Mostly Mozart" music series.

In 2002, she released a recording of Brahms and Schumann on CD, and, in 2003, she recently signed a recording contract with the Naxos^TM label.

Jeanne Mallow began her studies initially as a violinist, but exchanged the violin for the viola after being increasingly drawn to its darker sonorities. Her major teachers include Josef Gingold at Indiana University, Daniel Phillips at SUNY-Purchase, and Paul Kantor in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a student, she recieved scholarships and fellowships to the American Conservatory in Fountainbleau, France, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music School in Blue Hill, Maine, and the Aspen Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado. As a teacher herself, she has served on the faculty of the Mannes College of Music Preparatory Division, and as a teaching fellow at the Perlman Music Program.

REVIEWS

“JEANNE MALLOW represents the third generation of the remarkable string playing Fuchs family.

She is a worthy successor to this tradition, playing with dusky aristocratic tone, exacting intonation, and a kind of conversational musicality that seems second nature. She employs generous portamento and rubato, but nothing is forced or mannered. Ms. Mallow found a quirky sentimentality in her grandmother's pieces that would have eluded most other artists.”

“Like her illustrious grandmother, Mallow is an avid arranger in the hallowed tradition (a tradition that goes all the way back to Lionel Tertis). Mallow is a superbly accomplished instrumentalist (one rarely hears playing so unfailingly in tune) and her musicianship is naturalness itself.”
