Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Born in Israel, he was introduced to the American public as a young teenager through an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. The rest, as they say, is history. Selected to perform at the inauguration of President Barack Obama and a recipient of both the National Medal of Arts and the Kennedy Center Honors, he returns for his first UMS recital since 2000. “Itzhak Perlman wows the crowd…for warmth of tone and generosity of spirit he remains without peer.” (The Toronto Star)
