Aleksey Igudesman is known as a violinist, but has also established himself as a composer, conductor, actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. He refuses to be categorised, promoting creativity and freedom of thought all around the globe.
His concert programs and live shows are always full of creativity, involving humour and virtuosity at the highest level. Stylistically, Igudesman loves breaking borders, often collaborating with great musicians, artists, dancers, and actors from around the world. One of his specialities is creating tailor-made programs for orchestras, concert halls and festivals.
During his studies at the Yehudi Menuhin School, he read all the plays of Shaw, Wilde, and Chekhov, and, after studying the violin with acclaimed pedagogue Boris Kuschnir, Igudesman embarked on a successful career playing concerts around the world, composing both concert and film music, and working with the likes of Hans Zimmer, John Malkovich, and Roger Moore among many others.
Aleksey Igudesman plays on a Santo Seraphin violin from the year 1717, which is kindly loaned to him by ERSTE BANK. His strings of choice are by Thomastik-Infeld. His concert outfits are often sponsored by Cleofe Finati.
