He’s also a passionate chamber musician who frequently partners with distinguished colleagues like , Yuri Bashmet and Hélène Grimaud, and creates intriguing projects like A Violin in Versailles, a summer mini-residency at the palace. His own violin is the 1737 “Panette” Guarneri del Gesù formerly owned by Isaac Stern.
