In an exciting 2023-2024 season, GRAMMY®-winning virtuoso violinist and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Itzhak Perlman engages with audiences across the world as he builds on his career as one of the most distinguished classical musicians of our era.
In the 2023/24 season, Mr. Perlman brings his iconic PBS special In the Fiddler’s House to San Francisco, Houston, Bethesda and Palm Beach, joined by today’s klezmer stars including Hankus Netsky, Andy Statman and members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band. His orchestral engagements include playing and conducting programs with the Houston Symphony on Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and with the Charleston Symphony on Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony, as well as a series of concerto and conducting appearances with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
Perlman continues touring his autobiographical presentation, An Evening with Itzhak Perlman, which captures highlights of his career through narrative and multimedia elements intertwined with performance, with dates in Newark, NJ, Dallas, TX, Costa Mesa, CA and Stony Brook, NY. This season, he also plays recitals across North American cities including Toronto, Los Angeles and Portland with longtime collaborator Rohan De Silva.
On Thursday, September 28, 2023, Perlman began his season with a sold-out concert at The Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD. The program, titled In the Fiddler’s House, reoccurs throughout the season and is based on his Emmy Award-winning PBS Special, Great Performances: In the Fiddler’s House. Soon to mark its 30th anniversary, this program features Hankus Netsky on saxophone and piano and Andy Statman on clarinet and mandolin, with members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and additional special guests to be announced.
In the Fiddler’s House is also presented this season on Sunday, December 17, 2023, at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, FL; Sunday, January 21, 2024, at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, CA; and Sunday, May 12, 2024, at Jones Hall in Dallas, TX presented by the Houston Symphony.
With pianist and longtime musical partner Rohan De Silva, Perlman performs recitals this season at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ; the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, CT; at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, OR; and at Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. He continues recital performances at the Peace Center in Greenville, SC; State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ; and at Mortensen Hall in Hartford, CT. Perlman’s final recital and engagement for the 2023/2024 season is presented on Thursday, May 16, 2024, at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, ON.
On Sunday, October 8, 2023, Perlman performed his autobiographical multimedia program An Afternoon/Evening with Itzhak Perlman at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ. He brings the program to AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, TX on Monday, January 15, 2024; to Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, CA on Wednesday, January 24, 2024; and to Stony Brook, NY on Saturday, May 4, 2024. Perlman joins South Carolina’s Charleston Symphony on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, for another edition of An Evening with Itzhak Perlman, performing and conducting works from Fritz Kreisler, Erich Korngold, John Williams, Ludwig van Beethoven, and more at the Gaillard Center.
Perlman performed Cinema Serenade to a sold-out audience with the Utah Symphony on Saturday, October 14, 2023, in Salt Lake City. He also joined the Brigham Young University Philharmonic for Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in Provo, UT on October 11 and 12, 2023, presented by BYU Arts.
As part of his third and final season as Artistic Partner of the Houston Symphony, Perlman leads the orchestra in a program of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, Walker’s Lyric for Strings, and Vivaldi’s “Winter” from The Four Seasons from February 8 to 11, 2024 at Jones Hall. Both in-person tickets and Livestream options will be available. Perlman’s collaboration with the Houston Symphony commenced in the 2020/21 season, a tenure during which he performs nine programs that feature him in versatile appearances as a conductor, soloist, recitalist and presenter, and culminates with In the Fiddler’s House in May 2024.
Perlman leads the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in a pair of concerts on Thursday, March 28, 2024 at the Charles Bronfman Auditorium in Tel Aviv and on Sunday, March 31, 2024 in Haifa – both featuring Rossini’s L'italiana in Algeri, Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 2, Kreisler’s Violin Concerto with violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9.
He then performs as a featured soloist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Lahav Shani in a program of Strauss’s Don Juan, Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3, and Ben-Haim’s Symphony No. 2 – first in Tel Aviv from Thursday, April 4 to Saturday, April 6, 2024, and then in Jerusalem on Sunday, April 7, 2024.
