Tribute to Ivry Gitlis
At the age of 96, Ivry Gitlis is the oldest classical musician in activity. Born in Haifa in 1922, he moved to Paris ten years later to study with the greatest European masters – Jacques Thibaud, Carl Flesch and Georges Enesco. In 1951, he won a Prize at the Long-Thibaud Competition which launched his career and he settled in France where he has become a popular musical figure. Throughout his career spanning over 80 years, he has demonstrated a unique style and an unparalleled sense of freedom. This concert pays tribute to the patriarch of classical music.
