Pinchas Zukerman

Virtuoso soloist Pinchas Zukerman is second-to-none in the world of classical music. As a violinist, violist, conductor, and chamber musician, he has captivated audiences globally for more than 50 years with his profound artistry.

Zukerman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1948. His first instrument was the recorder, but by the age of six, he took up the violin with his father’s guidance. Celebrated violinist Isaac Stern and cello legend Pablo Casals discovered Zukerman, and they championed his move to New York City to attend The Juilliard School. Once there, he studied under the mentorship of Stern and Ivan Galamian from 1961 to 1967.

Zukerman would then ascend the global stage, seamlessly transitioning from solo violinist and violist to conductor, chamber musician, and educator. His unmatched tonality and technique have been immortalized in more than 110 recordings, earning him two GRAMMY awards.

Recent years have seen him enchant audiences from Salzburg to Shanghai, both as a solo virtuoso and with esteemed ensembles like the Zukerman Trio. He has collaborated with eminent orchestras worldwide, from the Adelaide Symphony and Orchestre de Lyon to the English Chamber Orchestra. His artistic genius earned him the U.S. National Medal of Arts, presented by President Ronald Reagan.

With a passion for fostering the next generation, Zukerman has helmed the Pinchas Zukerman Performance Program at the Manhattan School of Music for decades. His pedagogical outreach spans the globe, including initiatives with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts.
