Maintaining an active career performing with major orchestras around the world, Canadian-American violinist Leila Josefowicz has managed to walk the line between the expected standard repertoires for violin and orchestra and more daring new works. As a testament to this, over the past year, Leila has performed Sergei Prokofiev’s “Violin Concerto No. 1” (1917), Alban Berg’s “Violin Concerto” (1935), and is currently preparing John Adams’s “Scheherazade No. 2” (2015), a work written specifically for her, for an upcoming performance with Zurich’s Tonhalle-Orchester.
