Maxim Vengerov
Universally hailed as one of the world’s finest musicians, and often referred to as the greatest living string player in the world today, Grammy award winner Maxim Vengerov also enjoys international acclaim as a conductor and is one of the most in-demand soloists.
Born in 1974, he began his career as a solo violinist at the age of five, won the Wieniawski and Carl Flesch international competitions at the age of 10 and 15 respectively, studied with Galina Tourchaninova and Zakhar Bron, made his first recording at the age of 10, and went on to record extensively for high-profile labels including Melodia, Teldec and EMI, earning Grammy and Gramophone artist of the year awards.
Polina Osetinskaya
In the 2023/24 season, pianist Polina Osetinskaya made several solo debuts at the Berlin Philharmonic, in London, and at Laeiszhalle in Bach’s concerts without a conductor. She also performs in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Cyprus, USA and South America. Polina has performed with Maxim Vengerov in numerous concert halls across America during their tours.
Five Stars – It is as if Vengerov has taken each note and taken it as close to perfection as is humanly possible … the way he finds the music in the virtuosic madness is what makes his playing so inspiring.
Sydney Morning Herald
Vengerov justifies the hype that sees him placed as the finest before the public today…There was nothing to fault, for here was a recital which must immediately rank not only amongst the finest witnessed this year, but in all my years of concertgoing.
Limelight
Maxim Vengerov enthralled his audience with incomparable musicianship and an often dazzling technique.
