杏吧原创 Symphony to Present Winter Program Nov. 25 with Violinist Itamar Zorman
The 杏吧原创 Symphony Orchestra will present its winter program with a three-part performance conducted by Kevin Hekmatpanah and featuring internationally acclaimed violinist Itamar Zorman.
The performance is Monday, Nov. 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center on the 杏吧原创 campus.
The performance will open with Rimsky-Korsakov's colorful and imaginative masterpiece Capriccio Espagnol, followed by Tchaikovsky’s powerfully epic and dramatic tone poem Francesca da Rimini. The final act will be Paganini’s “fiendishly virtuosic” First Violin Concerto.
The Paganini is the portion of the evening featuring Zorman, the recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust award. He has also won numerous competitions including the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition, the 2010 International Violin Competition of Freiburg and the 2010 Julliard Berg Concerto Competition.
Born in Tel Aviv to a family of musicians, Zorman began his studies at the age of 6 at the Israeli Conservatory of Music. He went on to receive his bachelor of music from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and his master of music from the Julliard School. From there he become a well-traveled soloist, earning several more degrees and performing with the American Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, the Tokyo Symphony in Japan’s Suntory Hall, as well as the Jerusalem Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Haifa Symphony and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra.
