Christian Tetzlaff’s 2009 Celebrity Series recital with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes was a deeply sensitive and immensely rewarding performance that will not soon be forgotten. Don’t miss this engrossing violinist on his return to Jordan Hall for a concert of solo violin music featuring works by J.S. Bach, Bartók, Ysaÿe, and Paganini.

"...the most impressive thing about Tetzlaff is the fact that despite the perfect technique, he never comes across as cool or uninvolved. He does not rest at the level of a master; he continues to probe."
—The Philadelphia Inquirer
