Published: 5 February 2015

A valued member of the Schulich School of Music since 2007, Professor Mark Fewer was recently named a William Dawson Scholar, an award which recognizes a faculty member's outstanding and original contributions as well as their world-class caliber. Fewer is a highly-regarded soloist and chamber musician, whose performances of both classical and jazz have been described as “genre-bending”. He has appeared widely in North America and also abroad throughout Europe, Australia, and the Far East. His recording of “Changing Seasons” – a jazz violin concerto composed for him by Phil Dwyer – won a 2012 Juno Award. He was artistic director of the Scotia Festival of Music from 2004-2009, and is the founding director of the SweetWater Music Festival in Ontario. Fewer spent the past year with the St. Lawrence String Quartet based at Stanford University.
