Leora Cohen

British-American violinist Leora Cohen has been described as “a brilliant player” (Suzi Klein), with a
“natural feel for melody” (Nicola Benedetti) and “the sound of heavenly beauty” (Maxim Vengerov).
Following her double-first degree from the University of Cambridge and postgraduate Diplomas from the Royal College of Music, she now enjoys a diverse career performing as a recitalist, soloist and ensemble musician around the world. Leora is regarded as a prominent concertmaster of her generation; she is a former leader of the National Youth Orchestra, the Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra and Cambridge University Orchestra. Having led concerts in major concert halls globally, and concert series such as the BBC Proms, she now plays alongside professional orchestras on top of her many solo engagements. Leora toured internationally with the LGT Young Soloists during her studies and currently appears as a regular soloist with the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and the Albion Chamber Orchestra. She takes particular delight in creating and performing a range of recitals around innovative themes and topics. Leora is represented by the Kenneth Carol Agency in the USA.
