Gil Shaham

Violin

Biography

Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time; his flawless technique, combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit, has solidified his renown as an American master. He is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with leading orchestras and conductors, and regularly gives recitals and appears with ensembles on the world’s great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals.

Highlights of recent years include a recording and performances of J.S. Bach’s complete sonatas and partitas for solo violin as well as recitals with his long-time duo partner, pianist Akira Eguchi. He regularly appears with the Berlin, Israel, Los Angeles, and New York philharmonic orchestras; Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco symphony orchestras; and Orchestre de Paris, as well as in multiyear residencies with the orchestras of Montreal, Stuttgart, and Singapore. 

Shaham has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his name, earning multiple Grammys, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’Or, and Gramophone Editor’s Choice. Many of these recordings appear on Canary Classics, the label he founded in 2004. His 2016 recording 1930s Violin Concertos Vol. 2 and his 2021 recording of Beethoven’s and Brahms’s concertos with The Knights were nominated for Grammys.

Gil Shaham was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990, and in 2008 he received the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. In 2012 he was named “Instrumentalist of the Year” by Musical America. He plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius and performs on an Antonio Stradivari violin, Cremona ca. 1719, with the assistance of Rare Violins In Consortium, Artists and Benefactors Collaborative.
