From collaborations with Lowell Liebermann to concerto appearances in many parts of the world, he has been hailed for his flawless technique, superb musicianship and commitment to a wide range of repertoire.
Mr. Grossman’s first teacher was his father, ’cellist John Grossman, who instilled in him an abiding love for music. A graduate of Juilliard, where he studied with Dorothy DeLay, Eric enjoys an active performing career. He has given highly acclaimed recitals and solo performances with orchestras in the U.S., Europe, Korea, Japan, and Cuba under renowned conductors including Zubin Mehta, Stanislaw Skrowaczewki and Michael Gielen. He performed Berg’s Violin Concerto with Maestro Geilen at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.

As a chamber musician, Mr. Grossman has collaborated with such noted artists as David Soyer, Seymour Lipkin, Philip Myers, among many others. Highlights of Mr. Grosssman's 2008-09 season include return engagements to Cuba where he will play the World premiere of the Violin Concerto no. 2 written for him by Jorge Lopez Marin with Cuban National Symphony Orchestra in Havana.
Recent engagements included his sixth concert tour of Korea where he played Brahms Violin Concerto with the Korean Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, a New York recital with pianist Sandra Rivers, his European recital debut at the Arco Festival in France, and, on two days' notice, a performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Lima Symphony that was hailed by The Lima News as "astounding."
