Julius Schulman(1915-2000)
- Soundtrack
Julius Schulman's career as a concert violinist began at age 8 when he
performed the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto at Carnegie Hall. After
studying in New York City with Jacques Malkin at the Malkin Institute
and with Edouard Dethier at Juilliard, he won a violin scholarship to
study with Efrem Zimbalist (father of actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) at
the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where he often soloed on The
Curtis Institute of Music Radio Programme.
Following his studies he joined the violin section of the Philadelphia Orchestra for six years (playing on the recording for Walt Disney's Fantasia), was assistant concertmaster and soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony, and concertized extensively including two recitals at New York's Town Hall and for the USO and War Bond Concerts during World War II. Music critics often compared him to Jascha Heifetz.
He returned to New York City as concertmaster and featured soloist of the WOR Mutual Network Symphony Orchestra; tied with Barbara McNair as a winning contestant on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts; and served as concertmaster and soloist with the New Orleans Symphony and the Little Orchestra, touring extensively.
After ten years in the Boston Symphony Orchestra he once again returned to New York as associate concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, then left New York again as concertmaster and frequent soloist with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra.
His solo violin performances are featured on the soundtrack of the film Lady Magdalene's, produced, written, and directed by his son, J. Neil Schulman, and the film is dedicated to him.
