International violin virtuoso Oliver Lewis made his concerto debut as a child prodigy at the age of 12 with the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain. Winning scholarships to the Purcell School of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and the Berne Conservatoire he was trained by the world’s greatest teachers. Oliver made his sensational European debut in 1991 playing Ravel’s Tzigane and Bruch’s G minor Violin Concerto as soloist with the Bern Symphony Orchestra. Immediately afterwards he was made soloist and leader of the Heidelberg Chamber Orchestra with whom he toured Europe, performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons over 400 times.


Lewis concerts have taken him throughout Europe, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China, Taiwan, Brazil, South Korea, Trinidad (performing for the President of Trinidad and Tobago live on TV), and of course Great Britain, where his regular recitals at the Wigmore Hall and recent performances of Bruch’s G minor Violin Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra were box office sellouts.


Oliver's work has extended into the film industry. His immeasurable talents were put to good use on the set of the film "Ladies in Lavender", starring Dame Judy Dench and Dame Maggie Smith. Lewis was the onscreen violin double and coached the young star, Daniel Brule, in the art of the violin - teaching him to play with the expressive movement and style of a world class performer. Oliver’s version of the theme tune to “Ladies in Lavender” is featured on Deviations Projects first album and also as a soloist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.


Hailed by the media as "The Fastest Fiddler from the West", Oliver’s phenomenal speed, skill and accuracy on "Flight of the Bumble Bee" is unmatched by any other violinist.
