Itzhak Perlman
Itzhak Perlman was born in Tel Aviv on 31st August 1945 to a family of Polish origin. He was drawn to the violin from the age of three, but when he was four he contracted polio, losing the use of his legs. Despite his handicap, he began learning the violin a year later, and his first teacher was a café violinist. Very soon, he joined the Tel Aviv Music Academy where he studied for eight years with Rivka Goldgart, a teacher of Russian origin.
At the age of ten, he auditioned for Isaac Stern, who advised him to continue his studies in the United States. He gave his first concerts in Tel Aviv and in 1958 was noticed by the American television presenter Ed Sullivan who invited him on his famous show. America marvelled at the young Itzhak playing the finale of Mendelssohn’s Concerto and Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee. A tour of the States with 'Sullivan’s Caravan of Stars' followed.
Perlman settled in New York with his mother and joined the Juilliard School where he worked with Ivan Galamian and his assistant Dorothy DeLay for several years. Under their influence, he abandoned his 'Russian' bow hold in favour of the Franco-Belgian bow hold developed by Lucien Capet. On 5th March 1963, he made his American debut with the National Orchestra Association
