Violinist and violist Zoë Martin-Doike is a compelling and versatile artist whose career moves fluidly between the intimacy of chamber music and the grandeur of the world’s leading orchestral stages. Equally at home in both roles, she brings a rare combination of precision, warmth, and expressive depth to her playing—qualities that have made her a sought-after collaborator across a wide range of musical settings.

Zoë first came to international attention as a founding violinist of the Aizuri Quartet, an ensemble celebrated for its vibrant interpretations and adventurous programming. During her time with the group, the quartet earned top prizes at the prestigious Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition and held notable residencies at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.

A dedicated chamber musician, Zoë is currently a member of the Iris Trio, where she continues to explore the rich and nuanced dialogue of small ensemble playing. Her festival appearances include the Steans Institute at Ravinia as well as the Sarasota, Norfolk, Taos, and Marlboro Music Festivals—each experience contributing to a musical perspective that is both refined and adventurous.

In addition to her achievements as a violinist, Zoë is an accomplished violist, having earned top prizes in both disciplines, including the Primrose International Viola Competition and the Lennox International Young Artist Competition. Her artistry was further recognized when she won the 2019 Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra Competition, leading to a featured solo appearance with the ensemble the following season.

Zoë’s orchestral career is equally distinguished. Since 2018, she has been a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, one of the world’s most esteemed ensembles, where she performs regularly in the uniquely demanding and collaborative environment of opera. She also frequently joins the Philadelphia Orchestra on international tours, contributing to performances that span the core symphonic repertoire and beyond.

Her musical foundation was shaped by extraordinary mentorship. She studied violin with the renowned Pamela Frank at the Curtis Institute of Music, where she served as concertmaster during the 2011–12 season. She later completed her master’s degree at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, pursuing a rare double major in violin and viola under the guidance of Mimi Zweig and Atar Arad.
