These days they are both starring in the fourth symphonic programme of the orchestra’s Season, ‘Mozart / Beethoven’.

Zukerman is a figure of international stature, sponsored in his early days by Isaac Stern and Pau Casals, and who has performed all the great literature for the violin alongside the most famous musicians of the 20th century, developing particularly close ties with artists such as Zubin Mehta, Daniel Barenboim or Jacqueline du Pré. His discography is immense, he has recorded more than 100 works and has won the Grammy twice, and he is also a skilful orchestra conductor.

As for Forsyth, he is a cello star in his native Canada. He has been principal cellist of the Calgary Philharmonic and the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and in his solo forays he has collaborated with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Garrick Ohlsson, Yefim Bronfman and Wynton Marsalis.

In this concert they will offer us duos for violin and cello by two contemporary composers: the Ukrainian Reinhold Gliere and the Hungarian Zoltan Kodaly. In addition, Zukerman and Forsyth will give live explanations of the works they will perform.
