Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Beloved for his charm and humanity as well as his talent, he is treasured by audiences throughout the world who respond not only to his remarkable artistry, but also to the irrepressible joy of making music, which he communicates. In January 2009, Mr. Perlman was honored to take part in the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, premiering a piece written for the occasion by John Williams and performing with clarinetist Anthony McGill, pianist Gabriela Montero, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. In December 2003 the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts granted Mr. Perlman a Kennedy Center Honor celebrating his distinguished achievements and contributions to the cultural and educational life of our nation. In May 2007, he performed at the State Dinner for Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, hosted by President George W. Bush and Mrs. Bush at the White House.

Perlman music program.
As a young violin student at Juilliard, Toby Perlman imagined an antidote to the competitive and isolating environment that exceptional young artists often grapple with in the pursuit of their craft.
In the summer of 1994, along with her husband Itzhak, Toby established The Perlman Music Program (PMP) for aspiring young violinists, violists, cellists, bassists, and pianists. In 2000, a visionary group of supporters secured the program’s 28-acre home on Shelter Island overlooking Crescent Beach. This peaceful, secluded campus is the perfect setting for students to escape the demands of their complicated lives and come together to form a lasting community.
Toby’s dream is based on a deceptively simple idea: meet the needs of each child, respect and trust students, and immerse them in a nurturing environment that emphasizes connection over competition. At PMP, our young musicians learn how to be in the world. They collaborate, support each other, and contribute to camp life. Our faculty look beyond the surface of technical proficiency and focus on their students’ potential to be interesting artists. We safeguard talent and individuality, and encourage kids to explore, take risks, and develop at their own pace.
Today, PMP provides a vibrant curriculum of programs, residencies, concerts, mentorship, and educational engagement, filling more than 300 days of the year. The most promising young musicians from across the world have a platform to thrive, make music together, challenge each other, form life-long bonds, and transform their potential into a life-changing reality.

Itzhak Perlman (born August 31, 1945) is an iconic Israeli-American violinist, conductor and pedagogue, born in Tel Aviv, British Mandate of Palestine, now Israel.
Being told he was too small to hold a violin and therefore refused admittance to the Shulamit Conservatory aged three, young Perlman then took it upon himself to learn how to play the instrument. After a few years he went on to study under Rivka Goldgart at the Shulamit Conservatory and later at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, giving his first recital age 10. Perlman became popular in Israel and publicly performed on a number of occasions which garnered the attention of American talent agent Ed Sullivan who brought the 13-year-old to the U.S.
After a performance on Sullivan’s “Caravan of Stars” show in 1959, Perlman was taught at the Julliard School in New York, U.S., with the violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and his assistant Dorothy DeLay. The violinist made his official debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1963, later winning the Leventritt Competition in 1964.
Perlman was subsequently taken under the wing of Sol Hurok, who embarked Perlman on an extensive worldwide tour across Europe, Asia and Israel, and begun his illustrious career as a musician recording the revered works of Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak to name a few.
With appearances on high-profile TV shows including Sesame Street and The Tonight Show, Perlman’s popularity swelled considerably during the ‘70s and he later took up a teaching position at Brooklyn College in his 1975. The violinist became a favourite of the White House, especially during the Reagan administration, who bestowed a Medal of Liberty award to him in 1986 noting the musical contribution of the foreign-born American.
By the 1990s Perlman’s success was that of the highest standing, having played and performed with virtually all of the world’s revered orchestras and composers, he also became a regular soloist for film scores including 1993’s “Schindler’s List”, which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. He has since played for the Queen of England, hosted a program on the PBS network entitled “Three Tenors, Encore!” which featured Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras, and continues to be at the figurehead of the 20th and 21st Century classical music scene.
