“Full of Romantic glory... totally embraced by the performers”

-Cleveland Classical

“Great depth of feeling”
Avant Music New

“Formidable… combining dulcet sweetness of tone with incisive drive.”

The Chicago Sun-Times

“Dynamic…brimming with crisp drama.”

Adverse Effect Magazine

“Superb”

“Rich, alluring tone…”

“Brilliant violin soloist”

The New York Times

“Bowlin was an enchanting soloist, cut from the same cloth as David Oistrakh. His throbbing vibrato and technical command were well suited to the young Bartók’s Straussian Post-Romantic sensibility.”

The San Diego Union-Tribune

“The alarmingly gifted violinist, David Bowlin… provided sterling advocacy and an array of widely terraced dynamics and colors.”

— Chicago Classical Review
