First time recital of Pinchas Zukerman and his trio in Lausanne The association MusiKa is pleased to present for the first time in Lausanne, the Zukerman Chamber Players, the chamber music ensemble created by the famous violinist Pinchas Zukerman. With a celebrated career encompassing five decades, Pinchas Zukerman reigns as one of today's most sought after and versatile musicians.  A prodigious talent recognized worldwide for his artistry, Zukerman has been an inspiration to young musicians throughout his adult life. In a continuing effort to motivate future generations through education and outreach, the renowned violin and viola soloist, conductor, and chamber musician teamed up in 2002 with four protégés to form a string quintet called the Zukerman Chamber Players. The quintet amassed an impressive international touring schedule with close to two hundred concerts and four discs on the CBC, Altara and Sony labels. The Zukerman Trio emerged out of the Zukerman Chamber Players with an official launch in 2013. Since then, the ensemble has performed globally in Japan, China, Australia,Europe, North and South America. The Trio has appeared at major festivals, including Ravinia, Tanglewood, Aspen, Edinburgh, Verbier and Schleswig Holstein. In 2020, pianist Shai Wosner joined Zukerman and cellist Amanda Forsyth, and the three continue to find joy and inspiration performing the classical trio and duo literature. “Some people stay forever young… Zukerman remains the young virtuoso we’ve always known, resourceful and expressive, musically captivating, technically flawless, gifted with great ease. As usual, it was an immense pleasure to listen to him. » – The Los Angeles Times Programme Schumann - Phantasiestücke Op. 88 Saint-Saëns - Piano Trio in F major, op.18 --- Beethoven - Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1 ("Ghosts")
