About

Benny Brydern studied violin and piano at the Richard-Strauss Academy of Music in Munich. He was invited to the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival to perform in the Festival Orchestra under the baton of Leonard Bernstein in 1988. He returned to the Festival in 1990 for the TV series “Orchestra!” hosted by Sir Georg Solti and Dudley Moore. Besides his love for 1930s jazz, he also performs on electric violins. Visit www.ViolinPassion.com for more information.   He frequently performs with Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys, Dean Mora’s Orchestra and other vintage music groups including his own ensembles.
