The Israeli born Pinchas Zukerman arrived in America in 1962, where he performed his studies at Juilliard in New York. A long life as one of the world’s leading violinists has left a very large number of marks, obviously. A discography of more than 100 titles, 2 Grammys (21 nominations) and a flood of awards and distinctions. Zukerman is one of these musicians, who has managed to broaden his activities to cover both his main instrument and the conductor task. In excess, he has found the time and energy to engage himself in the training of the next generation of musicians as well.

Yefim Bronfman grew up in Uzbekistan, but immigrated to Israel at the age of 15 and later on, he became an American citizen. Since then, his performances on the piano has taken him around the world and his musical partners include Zubin Metha, Isaac Stern and Mstislav Rostropovitj.
