Arnold Eidus

Arnold Eidus (b. November 29, 1922, Bronx, New York) is a world renowned concert violinist and recording artist.

Eidus was a child prodigy who made his debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 11.

Eidus is a versatile session accompanist who has recorded and performed in the classical, jazz, pop, rhythm & blues, and Latin genres. He has recorded with Perry Como, Coleman Hawkins, Lena Horne, Marian McPartland, Ruth Brown, Paul Desmond, Freddie Hubbard, Raymond Scott, Wes Montgomery, Patti Austin, Perez Prado, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Cal Tjader, Carmen McRae, and countless others over the past six decades.

In 1947 he won the coverted Jacques Thibaud Award in a Paris competition. In reviewing a February 7, 1950 solo performance at Carnegie Hall, the New York Times wrote, "Mr. Eidus is a brilliant virtuoso with a flair for the dramatic—perhaps one might say the theatrical—and his recital was never dull for a moment."
