Thomas Gould is a renowned British violinist, celebrated for his versatility and the breadth of his repertoire, spanning classical, jazz, and contemporary music. His career is marked by an innovative approach to classical music, demonstrated through both his live performances and his diverse discography. Gould's album releases, such as "this is what love is," "Sienna," and his engaging interpretations of Bach through "Violin Concerto in A Minor, BWV 1041" and "Bach, Sitkovetsky: Goldberg Variations," showcase his virtuosity and deep musical intelligence. His live album "Live in Riga - Beethoven: Violin Concerto, Op.61 & Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending" captures the electrifying energy of his performances, earning acclaim for his expressive depth and technical prowess.

Thomas Gould's adventurous spirit in music-making has led him to explore the intersections between different musical genres, an endeavor exemplified in his project "Bach to Parker," which blurs the lines between the Baroque compositions of Bach and the improvisational world of jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. Gould's ability to transcend traditional boundaries in classical music has not only established him as a prominent figure within the contemporary classical scene but has also engaged a broader audience, introducing them to the complexities and beauties of classical and contemporary music. As a soloist, chamber musician, and leader of the Britten Sinfonia, Gould continues to push the envelope, earning him a distinguished place among today's leading musicians.
