Leila Josefowicz is a dynamic American-Canadian violinist known for her fearless interpretations and dedication to contemporary music. A prodigy from a young age, she made her Carnegie Hall debut while still in her teens and quickly became recognized not only for her technical brilliance but also for her adventurous repertoire. Josefowicz has become a passionate advocate for new music, often working closely with composers like John Adams, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Thomas Adès, who have written major concertos specifically for her.
Her performances are marked by emotional intensity and a deep understanding of the works she champions, especially in modern and avant-garde pieces. Beyond her solo career, Leila's collaborations with major orchestras around the world and her recordings, such as Adams' Scheherazade.2 and Salonen’s Violin Concerto, have solidified her status as a leading voice in 21st-century classical music.
