“Mr. Beilman’s handsome technique, burnished sound and quiet confidence…showed why he has come so far so fast.” – The New York Times
“[Beilman plays with] technical luster and expressive variety…His unfailing zestfulness avoided superficiality…His playing was vivid and extroverted, with a rhythmic acuity that gave extra bounce to [his] lively phrasing…Beilman left no doubt that for all the polish and self-possession of his playing, he can tear off a chunk of virtuosity and hold it proudly aloft.” – The Indianapolis Star
“This is a huge, up-and-coming talent. He is amazing – talk about a rising star.” – Composer Jennifer Higdon
“Beilman’s sleek, elegant Sibelius concerto began as if floating in from another world – mysterious, ethereal, magical –and never descended into clichéd gestures or exaggerated displays of power. It was a performance brimming with imaginative touches and exquisite control of the softer end of the dynamic spectrum. The slow movement was pure poetry.” – The Strad
“Every phrase that came from violinist Benjamin Beilman in [Beethoven’s] Romance No. 2 was purposefully molded…Repeated descents into the lower strings not only revealed a distinctive, full-bodied sound but also carried emotional weight…” – The Philadelphia Inquirer
