Violinist Leila Josefowicz came to national attention in 1994 when she made her Carnegie Hall debut performing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. The performance was immediately followed by her debut recording of the Tchaikovsky and Sibelius concertos for Philips Classics. Since then, she has appeared with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, Los Angeles Philharmonic, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and NHK Symphony Orchestra. She has collaborated with conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Valery Gergiev, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Charles Dutoit, and Franz Welser-Möst, among others. Ms. Josefowicz’s recent and upcoming European engagements include appearances with the Munich, Czech, and Oslo philharmonic orchestras, and the Bamberg and BBC symphony orchestras, and recitals at London’s Wigmore Hall and the Barbican and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw. In January 2002 her performance of John Adams’s Violin Concerto with the BBC Symphony, conducted by the composer, was televised and broadcast by the BBC throughout Europe. She is a graduate of The Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with Jaime Laredo and Jascha Brodsky.
