David Garrett
Biography
David Garrett was born in Aachen, the son of German-American parents, and first started to learn the violin at the age of four.
He made his first public appearance aged ten and was one of the first students of Itzhak Perlman at the Julliard School. He graduated from his master class when he was 23.
Later David withdrew from the international concert business, moving to New York for self-reflection and artistic advancement.
During this time, Garrett earned his living by working as a model.
Music
The youngest exclusive recording artist with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, David has played in all the great European cities with the most distinguished orchestras and conductors.
In addition to performing works from Bach and Mozart, to the great classic violin concertos of Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky, and the rarely played violin concertos of Conus, Schumann and Dvorák to virtuosic works by Waxman, Ravel and Saint-Saëns, David also has a great affinity for chamber music.
In the past, he has played with pianists Itamar Golan, Daniel Gortler and Milana Cernyavska.
