Primo Artists announces representation of violinist Randall Goosby for Exclusive Worldwide Management

NEW YORK, NY (November 11, 2026) – Primo Artists announces Exclusive Worldwide Management of violinist Randall Goosby, effective immediately. The agency will become his sole General Management worldwide.

Goosby was signed to Primo Artists’ roster in June 2021 for Joint General Management with HarrisonParrott, with Primo Artists handling North and South America and HarrisonParrott handling Europe, Asia and Australasia. Today’s announcement brings his representation under one unified global structure with Primo Artists.

Primo Artists Founder Charlotte Lee says: “It is an honor to expand our partnership with Randall Goosby to exclusive worldwide management. Itzhak Perlman first brought Randall to my attention more than a decade ago, when he was a teenage student of Mr. Perlman’s. Since his career launched five years ago, we have had the privilege of representing Randall as he has established himself as one of the most compelling violinists of his generation. Our team looks forward to building on his momentum worldwide in what promises to be a landmark career.”

Randall Goosby says: “I am thrilled to expand my relationship with Primo Artists to worldwide general management. It has been an amazing journey so far, and I am deeply grateful to the team at HarrisonParrott for their care and support over the past five years. I look forward to the milestones and adventures ahead in this next chapter with Primo Artists!”

An artist of rare musical sensitivity with a gift for drawing listeners in, American violinist Randall Goosby is deeply passionate about inspiring and serving others, with a mission to bring classical music to new audiences. He is committed to making music more inclusive and accessible, and to bringing the music of under-represented composers to light. Education, social engagement, and outreach are central to his work, and he takes particular joy in visiting classrooms around the world, introducing the violin to students who, in many cases, have never seen an instrument before.

In a three-year residency from 2026 through 2028, Goosby serves as the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s inaugural Community Artist-in-Residence, focusing on creative collaboration and public engagement throughout Cincinnati. The newly created role grew out of the success of his tenure as the orchestra’s 2025 MAC Music Innovator, a year-long residency in which he curated and led community engagement activities in Cincinnati schools, community centers, and historic cultural sites.

Goosby is currently a featured artist of Konzerthaus Dortmund’s “Junge Wilde” series and a former Artist-in-Residence at London’s Southbank Centre. With his Renaissance String Quartet, he and his quartet members are Caramoor’s 2026/27 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence.

Randall Goosby’s 2026/27 season sees him returning to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Karina Canellakis and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra with Matthias Pintscher, and making debuts with the BBC Symphony Orchestra led by Dalia Stasevska and the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra with Marin Alsop. He plays recitals in North America and Europe with pianist Zhu Wang and with his Renaissance String Quartet, whose year-long residency at Caramoor includes performances, mentorship of students in New York State schools, and the World Premiere of a new quartet by Nina Shekhar. In Summer 2026, he made his Tanglewood debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and returned to the Hollywood Bowl, marking his fifth appearance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Goosby regularly appears with top orchestras in North America, Europe, and Asia, having performed with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, and KBS Symphony, among others. He has made recital appearances at the Verbier Festival and in renowned halls around the world, including the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall in London, and Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul.

As a featured artist of Konzerthaus Dortmund’s “Junge Wilde” from 2024/25 through 2026/27, a three-season series for promising young artists to showcase their artistry and experiment as soloists, chamber musicians, and with orchestra, Goosby opened with a program of works by Florence Price, William Grant Still, and Schubert. In his second season, he turned to the piano trio, performing works by Coleridge-Taylor, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven with cellist Minjoung Kim and pianist Zhu Wang. In his final season, he brings his Renaissance String Quartet for a program that bridges eras and soundscapes with works by Mozart, Price, and Bartók.

During his residency at London’s Southbank Centre in the 2023/24 season, Goosby explored music inspired by folk songs and spirituals. Following a recital including works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Florence Price, he was joined by pianist Zhu Wang, violist and narrator Jameel Martin, and cellist Eddie Pogossian for a special event entitled “Intersections: Black Music & Words,” where music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson was interspersed with spoken words including original poems.

Goosby has reached audiences far beyond the concert hall through major network television. In June 2021, he performed on the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors, which aired on CBS to more than five million viewers. In September 2021, he played Florence Price’s “Adoration” at Ground Zero for the 20th anniversary commemoration of September 11th, a ceremony attended by President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and carried by every major international network.

Randall Goosby signed exclusively with Decca Classics in 2020 at the age of 24. His debut album for the label, ‘Roots’, is a celebration of African-American music which explores its evolution from the spiritual through to present-day compositions. Collaborating with pianist Zhu Wang, he curated an album paying homage to the pioneering artists that paved the way for him and other artists of color. In Spring 2023, Decca released Goosby’s debut concerto album, recorded with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra performing violin concertos by Max Bruch and Florence Price. “Roots: Deluxe Edition” was released in Spring 2024 and features new recordings of music by Carlos Simon, William Grant Still, and Florence Price.

Goosby has enjoyed working with non-profit organizations such as the Opportunity Music Project and Concerts in Motion in New York City, as well as participating in community engagement programs for schools, hospitals, and assisted living facilities across the United States. He collaborates frequently with the Iris Collective, an organization based in his hometown of Memphis, which builds community through music education and creative engagement.

In 2024, Goosby was honored as the inaugural recipient of the Harmony for Change Award from Midori & Friends. In 2020, he was named an Ambassador for Music Masters, a role that saw him mentoring and inspiring students in schools around the United Kingdom, and in 2019, he was named the inaugural Robey Artist by the Young Classical Artists Trust in partnership with Music Masters in London. He won First Prize in the 2018 Young Concert Artists International Auditions.

Randall Goosby began studying violin at the age of seven, and made his solo debut with the Jacksonville Symphony at age nine. At 13, he became the youngest First Prize winner of the Sphinx Competition, which led to debuts with the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and New World Symphony the following year.

Goosby earned his Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Artist Diploma from the Juilliard School, where he studied with Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho. He previously studied with Philippe Quint and is an alumnus of the Perlman Music Program. He plays the 1708 “ex-Strauss” Stradivarius, on generous loan from the Samsung Foundation of Culture.
