From Bach to Tchaikovsky, to Paganini

Jerusalem Music Centre

Thanks to one of our sponsors, in the project's initial phase, we could cooperate with a music school in Israel (name upon request). This also allowed us to visit the Jerusalem Music Centre.

They have a fantastic view on the wall but also great teachers.

They offered us the possibility of assisting with a recorded master class on Bach for cello and some trumpet repertoire. We had meaningful conversations with the management, shared some of their teachers, and had a project in common.

Music knows no border and is far away from politics, fortunately!

Pavel Berman, renowned violinist

Born in Moscow, Pavel Berman is a renowned violinist (Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Juilliard School with Isaac Stern and Dorothy DeLay) who has won many prizes and played worldwide.

He plays the Maréchal Berthier Stradivarius (1716) owned by the Pro Canale Foundation (Milan).

Fortunately for us, he teaches at the Conservatory of Southern Switzerland in Lugano, not far from the region where we record our master classes.

We agreed that he would create master classes on the Paganini Caprices. As an alternative to our traditional premises, they were recorded in a surprising environment, an art gallery in Milan (name upon request). Pavel is not only a great artist but also a perfectionist! His master classes are a work of art.
