One of the most exciting violinists of his generation, he has won first prize in the Paganini, Michael Hill, Carl Nielsen and the Wieniawski International Violin Competitions as well as third prize in the 10th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. In his performance of Prokofiev and Brahms sonatas, he will be accompanied by Yehuda Inbar, an extraordinary pianist whose power, poetry and formidable technique have won him a stream of major awards and full scholarships to study with music masters, including Sir Andras Schiff.
