DAVID RADZYNSKI
From American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra;
On December 19, 2014, the day that would have been IPO founder Bronislaw Huberman’s 132nd birthday, the Orchestra named 28-year-old David Radzynski as its new concertmaster, joining current concertmasters Yigal Tuneh and Ilya Konovalov in the position. The young violinist hails from Ohio and grew up among a musical family. His father, Jan Radzynski, is a composer as well as Professor of Composition in the music department at Ohio State University while his mother is a pianist. He began receiving instruction from her at the age of three and took up the violin at six.
David studied intensely with Roland and Almita Vamos as well as Paul Kantor, who are widely regarded as among the leading violin instructors in the world. He went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in music from Indiana University where he worked closely with Mauricio Fuks and Kevork Mardirossian and a master’s degree from the Yale School of Music under the direction of Syoko Aki. He is currently finishing his studies with Ben Sayevich at the Park University International Center for Music. Professor Sayevich was instrumental in preparing David for the concertmaster audition. Located in Missouri, the school offers the few students they accept full scholarships and living stipends, allowing them to focus solely on their music. Before embarking on his new role David will receive a performance certificate and artist diploma from this institution.
