The Blue Hill Bach Marville Young Artist Fellowship

Blue Hill Bach is grateful to Jan and Robert Marville for their support enabling promising young musicians to participate in the Festival as both performers and as an apprentice members of the management team, with the opportunity to learn the nuts and bolts of producing concerts in a small community. The Fellowship is awarded to gifted young artists who seek a career performing the music of Bach and his contemporaries in a historically-informed style, and who can benefit from performing side-by-side with some of the most distinguished professional Baroque musicians in the United States.

The Blue Hill Bach Young Artist Fellow for 2025 is Shelby Yamin.

Violinist Shelby Yamin is a sought after chamber musician, recitalist, and soloist. Recent season highlights include appearances as soloist with the Albany Symphony, Oregon Bach Festival, Philharmonia Baroque Chamber Players, New York Baroque Incorporated, and House of Time. As a collaborative musician, Shelby frequently appears in recitals across the country. Her passion for bringing historical music into historic spaces has led to concerts at the Hammond-Harwood House (Annapolis, MD) and George Washington’s Mount Vernon (Fairfax Country, VA). She currently resides in New York City where she can be heard with New York’s premier period-instrument ensembles, including Trinity Baroque Orchestra and The Sebastians. She has been a core member of Les Délices (Cleveland, OH) since 2022. 

As an artistic researcher, Shelby investigates and promotes largely overlooked repertoire. She has performed and recorded concertos by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen with Voices of Music (San Francisco, CA), as well as the first-ever recording of Sirmen’s complete opus of violin duets on period instruments (Orpheus Classical Label, 2021). In addition to her active performing and teaching career, Shelby is the Associate Producer of Les Délices’s award-winning early music webseries and podcast, SalonEra. 

Shelby holds degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and The Juilliard School, where she won the historical-performance concerto competition.
