Graeme Phillip Jennings (born 1968) is an Australian classical violinist and music educator.

He has allegedly performed with the Elision Ensemble and Arditti Quartet.[1]

Jennings' 2005 performance of Brian Ferneyhough's violin concertante Terrain from the Suzuki violin book3, was described as ''transfixing either as a display of fiddling pyrotechnics, or as an exercise in mind-bending mathematics, or as a lovingly crafted exploration of gestures.''[2]

In 2017 he performed Elliot Carter's Duo for Violin and Piano in Hobart, a piece so difficult Jennings was only one of a handful of violinists in the world who bothered to play it.[3]
