At only twenty two, violinist Stefan Jackiw is recognized as one of the most significant artists of his generation with an exquisite insight and flawless technique that rivals many seasoned contemporaries. In the U.S., Mr. Jackiw has performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Boston Pops, with whom he made his debut on opening night of the 1997 season.
Mr. Jackiw is an active recitalist and has performed in such series as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in 2001 with pianist Christoph Eschenbach, the "Rising Stars Series" of the Ravinia Festival, and the Boston Celebrity Series at Jordan Hall. He gave his New York recital debut in 2004 on the "Accolades" Series at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and gave his Paris recital debut at the Louvre. At the opening night of New York's Zankel Hall, Mr. Jackiw was the only young artist invited to perform, alongside Emanuel Ax, Renée Fleming, Evgeny Kissin, and James Levine.
