Jeremy Kittel is an American violinist and composer. His orchestral debut album, Stones River, releases in January 2027. His growing body of original compositions and arrangements for orchestra can be heard in concerts across North America, and he has performed as a soloist with the Detroit Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic, Britt Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony.
