Vadim Gluzman is among the most dynamic and thrilling violinists of his generation having established himself as an international artist of great depth and brilliance. He is consistently lauded for performing with `a commanding technique, spontaneity, and visionary breadth . . . capable of both delicate nuances and incendiary passion´ (The Washington Post). He has performed throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, Japan, and Canada, as a soloist, chamber musician, and in a duo setting with his wife, pianist Angela Yoffe.

In 1991, 16-year-old Vadim Gluzman was granted five minutes to play for the great Isaac Stern. Five minutes later, a wonderful friendship was born. Through Mr. Stern’s recommendation, a year later the America-Israel Cultural Foundation loaned Vadim Gluzman the Pietro Guarneri violin. Since then, Mr. Gluzman was named recipient of the prestigious Henryk Szeryng Foundation 1994 Career Award. In 1996, he became the owner of a bow from the Szeryng collection. He now plays the outstanding 1690 ex-Leopold Auer Stradivari on extended loan to him through the generous efforts of the Stradivari Society of Chicago. Gluzman joined the faculty at CCPA in 2002.
