PERLMAN PERFORMS
Itzhak Perlman was born in Israel in
1945, and was already playing the violin
when polio crippled him at age 4. He
began studies at the Academy of Music
in Tel Aviv prior to coming to America
in 1958. Upon his arrival, he continued
his musical training at the Juilliard
School of Music in New York under the
tutelage of Ivan Galmanian and Dorothy
DeLay. His success in winning the presti-
gious Leventritt Competition in 1964
launched his international career.
The master violinist has appeared
with every major orchestra and in
recitals throughout the world.
Audiences continue to respond not only
to his flawless technique but also to his
irrepressible joy in making music.
Detroit audiences will have the
opportunity to witness why Perlman
remains so popular with audiences
when he visits Orchestra Hall this
month. In addition to making his
DSO conducting debut, he will per-
form Bach's Violin Concerto in E
major. Works by Schubert, Prokofiev
and Dvorak round out the program.
Performance times are 8 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 11; 8:30 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 13; and 3 p.m. Sunday,
Nov. 14. $19-$66. (313) 576-5111.
