On Sale Now

Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. President Reagan granted him a “Medal of Liberty” in 1986 and President Clinton awarded him the “National Medal of Arts” in December 2000. In December 2003, he received a Kennedy Center Honor celebrating his distinguished achievements. He proudly possesses four Emmy Awards and fifteen Grammy awards for his television appearances and recordings. In addition to his many orchestral and recital appearances throughout the world, Mr. Perlman performs as conductor with leading orchestras. Mr. Perlman devotes considerable time to education, both in his participation each summer in the Perlman Music Program and his teaching at the Juilliard School, where he holds the Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation Chair. He was awarded an honorary doctorate and a centennial medal on the occasion of Juilliard’s 100th commencement ceremony in May 2005.
