Alexander Platt, Principal Conductor
Erno Kallai, Violin Soloist
“…Kallai performed with good colour, superb intonation and exemplary poise. In his posture and position, he looked as good as he sounded.”
“…he did full justice to the concerto’s many moods and never once produced a sound that was less than beautiful.”
-Dennis Rooney, The Strad, March, 2008
Winner of the Eleventh Carl Flesch International Violin Competition, Erno Kallai is establishing himself as one of the most exciting young violinist today. In December 2008 he made his Carnegie Hall debut, performing Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto no.2 with the Juilliard Orchestra, under James DePreist.
Erno Kallai has played for Hungarian radio and Television, and he has
appeared in Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Most recently he performed chamber music concerts throughout the U.S. with Itzhak Perlman and members of the Perlman Music Program. In 2008, he appeared on the McGraw-Hill Company’s “Young Artists’ Showcase” with host Bob Sherman on WQXR.
