Ayman Bejjani, violin
Ayman Bejjani (violin) is a first year student from Holly Springs, N.C. Ayman started playing the violin at the age of 4 and has studied with several distinguished teachers including Yoram Youngerman, Eric Pritchard, and Dovid Friedlander.
In 2011, Ayman joined the UNC-based Mallarmé Youth Chamber Orchestra (MYCO). MYCO played a critical role in Ayman’s musical development: it instilled in him a passion for chamber music and taught him the joy and the challenges of collaborative music making. He served as concertmaster of the MYCO chamber orchestra for several performances and participated in master classes with the Tokyo String Quartet, the Parker String Quartet, the Ciompi Quartet, violist Atar Arad and violinist Joseph Lin.
Ayman has also explored the orchestral repertoire through his association with the Triangle Youth Orchestra, where he served as co-concertmaster, and more recently with the Triangle Youth Philharmonic.
Ayman thoroughly enjoys exploring various musical genres: he played the violin in his high school’s broadway musical orchestra and the clarinet with his school band, where he qualified for the all-district honor band. He occasionally picks up his bass guitar to dabble in funk and jazz.
Ayman is a student of Nicholas DiEugenio.
