Joanna Frankel Tickets

Joanna Frankel is the Columbus Symphony’s first female concertmaster and a pivotal figure in the orchestra’s string section. Since becoming concertmaster in 2016 and in a permanent role from 2017, she has led principal violin duties with artistry and precision. A Juilliard School alumnus and recipient of the William Schuman Prize (2007), Frankel brings a rich background in chamber and orchestral performance to Columbus. Her instrument, a Gaetano Vinaccia violin from Naples, crafted in 1819, has been loaned to Juilliard and featured in notable CSO performances, including Beethoven Marathon programs and a public Paganini Il Cannone engagement in Genoa (2019).

In addition to her CSO appearances, Frankel participates in community and outreach concerts, sharing her artistry with audiences across Ohio. The 2025–26 Masterworks season promises notable appearances, including Scheherazade in October 2025, highlighting her talent as a featured soloist.
