Leila Josefowicz’s passionate advocacy of contemporary music for the violin is reflected in her diverse programs and enthusiasm for performing new works. She has premiered many concertos, including those by Colin Matthews, Matthias Pintscher, Luca Francesconi, John Adams, and Esa-Pekka Salonen, all written for her. This season, Josefowicz presents the world premiere of Jüri Reinvere’s Concerto for Violin, Harp, and Orchestra with the Cleveland Orchestra. Further engagements include the Philadelphia Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Highlights of recent seasons include appearances with Berliner Philharmoniker, Royal Concertgebouworkest, London and Los Angeles philharmonics, NDR Elbphilharmonie, and the Chicago, San Francisco, and London symphony orchestras. Together with John Novacek, with whom she has collaborated since 1985, Josefowicz has performed recitals at world-renowned venues such as New York’s Zankel Hall and Park Avenue Armory, Washington DC’s Kennedy Center and Library of Congress, as well as in Reykjavik, Trento, Bilbao, and Chicago.
