His interest in authentic performance has included collaborations with period-instrument ensembles such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. \nHe has recorded the Chopin Cello Sonata with Dénes Várjon for Hyperion using one of Chopin’s own pianos. Recent seasons have featured a performance with Sir Andras Schiff at the Beethovenhaus in Bonn\, using Beethoven’s own cello; and performances and recordings with Robert Levin (selected for the Deutsche SchallplattenPreis) of Beethoven’s complete music for cello and piano using original or replica fortepianos. With harpsichordist Richard Egarr\, he has performed and recorded the viola da gamba sonatas of J.S. Bach as well as sonatas by Handel and Scarlatti. \nMr. Isserlis is also a keen exponent of contemporary music and has premiered many new works including John Tavener’s The Protecting Veil\, Thomas Adès’s Lieux retrouvés\, and Stephen Hough’s Sonata for Cello and Piano\, Left Hand (Les Adieux). In 2016\, he gave the UK premiere of Olli Mustonen’s Frei\, aber einsam at the Wigmore Hall. \nHis recording of J.S. Bach’s complete Solo Cello Suites for Hyperion met with the highest critical acclaim and was Gramophone’s Instrumental Album of the Year and Critics’ Choice at the Classic BRITS. Other recent releases include a Grammy-nominated album of sonatas by Martinů\, the Brahms Double Concerto with Joshua Bell and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields\, and concertos by Haydn and C.P.E. Bach\, with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. His recent recording Cello in Wartime is a WWI-inspired disc performed on a travel cello (now known as “the Trench Cello”) like the one played in the trenches by WWI soldier Harold Triggs. \nMr. Isserlis’s many honors include a CBE in recognition of his services to music\, and he is one of only two living cellists featured in Gramophone’s Hall of Fame. He gives most of his concerts on the Marquis de Corberon (Nelsova) Stradivarius of 1726\, kindly loaned to him by the Royal Academy of Music. \nCONNIE SHIH\, piano\nThe Canadian pianist Connie Shih is considered one of Canada’s most outstanding artists. In 1993 she was awarded the Sylva Gelber Award for most outstanding classical artist under age 30. At the age of nine\, she made her orchestral debut with Mendelssohn’s first Piano Concerto with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. \n​As soloist\, she has appeared with orchestras throughout Canada\, the U.S. and Europe. She has performed countless solo recitals worldwide as well as chamber music performances with many world-renowned musicians. To critical acclaim\, she appears regularly in recital with cellist Steven Isserlis and has performed at concert venues across Germany with the cellist Manuel Fischer-Dieskau\, with whom she recorded the first-ever CD of the Sonatas for Piano and Cello by Carl Reinecke and the complete Beethoven sonatas. \nMs. Shih’s performances are frequently broadcast via television and radio on CBC\, BBC\, SWR\, NDR and WDR\, as well as on other various television and radio stations in North America and Europe.

Atovmyan)\nSARASATE: “Navarra” for two violins and piano\, Op. 33 \nNikki Chooi\, violin\nPraised for his powerful and poetic performances\, internationally-acclaimed violinist Nikki Chooi has established himself as an artist of rare versatility. Gramophone stated he performed with “total conviction and assurance.” Nikki is a Laureate of the Queen Elizabeth and Tchaikovsky Competitions\, among others. He has been a featured soloist with orchestras across North America\, Europe and Asia. He has collaborated with esteemed artists such as Yo-Yo Ma\, Renée Fleming\, Eric Owens and Time for Three. Nikki is currently Concertmaster of the Grammy award-winning Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Music Director JoAnn Falletta and has appeared as guest concertmaster with several major orchestras\, including as Concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. \nHe has recorded for Naxos\, Beau Fleuve\, Atoll and Decca labels. A passionate educator\, Nikki has presented numerous masterclasses. He completed his formal studies at the Curtis Institute and the Juilliard School. Nikki performs on a 1713 Stradivarius courtesy of CANIMEX INC. from Drummondville\, Quebec\, Canada\, a 1749 G.B Guadagnini on extended loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago\, and a 2016 Joseph Curtin. Nikki proudly endorses Thomastik-Infeld strings. \nTimothy Chooi\, violin\nInternationally acclaimed violinist Timothy Chooi\, (pronounced as “Chewy\,”) has captivated audiences worldwide with his virtuosic and finely nuanced performances. He is highly sought after for his passionate renditions and extensive repertoire\, as well as his exceptional ability to connect with a global audience\, amassing a media following of millions of viewers who have tuned in to his music. \nChooi gained international recognition by winning First Prize at the Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition and Second Prize at the Queen Elisabeth International Competition. He also received the prestigious classical music award\, the “Yves Paternot Prize” at the Verbier Festival. \nChooi has performed with renowned orchestras such as the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin\, Belgian National Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\, among others. Additionally\, he has collaborated with esteemed artists including Anne-Sophie Mutter\, Pinchas Zuckerman\, Lang Lang and James Ehnes.

Currently\, Chooi serves as the Professor of Violin at the University of Ottawa in Canada. He performs on two exceptionally rare violins: the Titan Guarneri Del Gesu violin from 1741\, on loan from CANIMEX INC. in Drummondville\, Quebec\, Canada\, and the Engleman Stradivarius violin from 1709\, on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation in Japan. \nClayton Stephenson\, piano\nAmerican pianist Clayton Stephenson’s love for music is immediately apparent in his joyous charisma onstage\, expressive power\, and natural ease at the instrument. Hailed for “extraordinary narrative and poetic gifts” and interpretations that are “fresh\, incisive and characterfully alive” (Gramophone)\, he is committed to making an impact on the world through his music-making. \nGrowing up in New York City\, Clayton started piano lessons at age 7 and was accepted into the Juilliard Outreach Music Advancement Program for underprivileged children the next year\, advancing at the age of 10 to Juilliard’s elite Pre-College program. He credits the generous support of community programs with providing him with musical inspiration and resources along the way. \nHe now studies in the Harvard-NEC Dual Degree Program\, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in economics at Harvard and a master’s degree in piano performance at the New England Conservatory under Wha Kyung Byun. His accolades along the way have been numerous — in addition to being the first Black finalist at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022\, he was named a 2022 Gilmore Young Artist\, as well as a 2017 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts and a Young Scholar of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation.
