Jorinde Gray, born in 1993, began her journey with the violin at the age of seven and quickly discovered her passion for music. After taking private lessons with her teacher, Evert Sillem, she was accepted into the Young Talent Class at the Amsterdam Conservatory in 2008.
She went on to complete her Bachelor's degree at the Utrecht Conservatory, studying under Elisabeth Perry, the concertmaster of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of the Netherlands.
Her musical adventure continued at the Royal College of Music in London with Jan Repko, where she earned her Master's degree in Performance "With Distinction."
Jorinde was awarded a €20,000 scholarship from the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund to support her studies in London.
In 2011, she also received the prestigious 1st prize from the SJMN (Young Talent of the Netherlands Foundation) for her outstanding interpretation of a contemporary composer.
As a soloist, she has performed with the Amsterdam Conservatory Orchestra and multiple times with the Utrecht Conservatory Orchestra.
She has also collaborated with the Metropole Orchestra as part of their Academy, participating in various exciting projects.
Jorinde has enjoyed a fulfilling chamber music career, performing at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht, both as a soloist and with her ensemble.
Her musical interests also lead her to collaborate in various settings, whether jamming in clubs with a DJ, playing with a band, or participating in crossover projects at festivals with the Metropole Orchestra. One memorable experience was recording at Abbey Road Studios with the emerging band Monster Florence.
She plays a violin crafted by Dutch luthier Daniël Royé, which she was able to purchase with the support of the SEM Foundation.
