SUMMARY:Johnny Gandelsman, violin
DESCRIPTION:
 Presenting the complete Bach Sonatas and Partitas 
 for solo violin\n
 \n
 Johnny Gandelsman's musical 
 voice reflects the artistic collaborations 
 he has been a part of since moving to the 
 United States in 1995.Through his work with 
 such artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Bono, Osvaldo Golijov, 
 David Byrne, Bela Fleck, Kayhan Kalhor, Suzanne 
 Vega, James Levine, Mark Morris, Alim 
 Qasimov and Fargana Qasimova, Nigel Kennedy and 
 Martin Hayes, Gandelsman has been able to 
 integrate a wide range of creative sensibilities 
 into his own point of view. Combining his 
 classical training with a desire to reach beyond 
 the boundaries of the concert hall, and 
 a voracious interest in the music of our times, 
 he developed a unique style amongst today's 
 violinists, one that according to the Boston 
 Globe, possesses "a balletic lightness of touch 
 and a sense of whimsy and imagination." 
 A passionate advocate for new music, Gandelsman 
 has premiered dozens of works written for 
 Brooklyn RiderString Quartet and Silk Road Ensemble, 
 both of which he is a member.   He was 
 born in Moscow into a family of musicians. 
 His father Yuri is a professor of viola at Michigan 
 State University, his mother Janna is 
 a pianist, and his sister Natasha is a violinist 
 as well. He lives in Brooklyn with his partner 
 Amber and their children.\n\n
