Canadian-born violinist and composer Emmanuel Vukovich has performed across Europe, the United States, Australia, and Canada. Born in 1980, he received the Golden Violin Award from McGill University’s Schulich School of Music and the Canada Council for the Arts Orford String Quartet Scholarship.   

Emmanuel left home at sixteen to study with Dorothy Delay and Masao Kawasaki at the Julliard School in New York City. Between 2003 and 2007 he completed his music studies at McGill University in Montreal working with Denise Lupien and André Roy at the Schulich School of Music, while also completing a minor in Environmental Studies. During this time, he was a member of the Lloyd Carr-Harris String Quartet, which won several national and international awards, including the Grand Prize at the Fischoff International Chamber Music Competition in 2005.   Emmanuel has performed with Ida Handel, Anton Kuerti, and Matt Haimowitz, and has been featured as soloist with the I Medici and McGill Symphony Orchestras. He has performed at the Aspen Music Festival, Orford Arts Centre Festival, Banff Center, and the Montreal Chamber Music Festival.

During his early years in New York Emmanuel developed a serious interest in farming and served as co-director and concertmaster of Symphony in the Barn—an international summer music festival held on an operating bio-dynamic farm in Durham, Ontario. He has since become devoted to uniting his twin passions of music and agriculture, and recently organized and performed a series of solo violin recitals on organic farms entitled "Bach in a Barn." In 2008 he began "Agri-Culture"—a project involving organizing, performing, and documenting a series of benefit concerts on Community Supported Agriculture farms across Canada and the United States. His aim with this project is to create a foundation that connects world-class music-making and culture with local organic agriculture.
