Vadim Gluzman

Making his second appearance with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Vadim Gluzman is universally recognized among today’s top-performing artists. The Israeli violinist is acclaimed for his performances with the Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, London Symphony, Royal Concertgebouw under Riccardo Chailly, Christoph von Dohnányi, Tugan Sokhiev, Santtu-Matias Rouvali and other leading conductors.

Gluzman has also introduced the public to new works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Giya Kancheli, Moritz Eggert, Elena Firsova, Lera Auerbach and Pēteris Vasks. This past January he premiered a new violin concerto by Erkki-Sven Tüür.

Accolades for Gluzman’s striking catalogue of recordings for the BIS label include the Diapason d’Or of the Year, Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice, Classica magazine’s Choc de Classica award, and Disc of the Month by The Strad, BBC Music Magazine, and ClassicFM.

Gluzman holds the position of Distinguished Artist in Residence at The Peabody Conservatory, where he teaches a selected group of young violinists. He performs on the extraordinary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivari, on loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
