The legendary maestro Pinchas Zukerman returns to the Elbphilharmonie! He will be joined by the Sinfonia Varsovia, one of the most important symphony orchestras in Europe. Works by Mozart, Elgar and Mendelssohn Bartholdy will be performed in a festive concert. The violinist, violist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman was born in Tel Aviv in 1948. In 1961, at the age of 13, he met Pablo Casals and Isaac Stern at the first Israel Festival. A year later, he went to New York to study with Ivan Galamian at the Juilliard School of Music and made his concert debut just a short time later. As an internationally sought-after soloist and conductor, Pinchas Zukerman performs with major orchestras including the English Chamber Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Staatskapelle Berlin and the National Arts Centre Orchestra. In addition to numerous awards and prizes, Pinchas Zukerman has received two GRAMMY Awards for his more than 100 CD recordings in the categories »Best Classical Performance« and »Best Chamber Music Performance«. His musical partners include Daniel Barenboim, Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta, Yefim Bronfman and Amanda Forsyth, with whom he is also close friends. The Sinfonia Varsovia is one of the most important symphony orchestras in Europe. When the legendary violinist, violist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin came to Warsaw in 1984 to work with the Polish Chamber Orchestra, it was expanded and became Sinfonia Varsovia. Shortly afterwards, Yehudi Menuhin became the orchestra’s first guest conductor. Since then, the orchestra has performed worldwide and recorded more than 300 albums.
