Stefan Jackiw captivates audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with his poetry, purity of sound and impeccable technique. As a soloist he performs wide-ranging recitals and concertos as well as world premieres.

Jackiw is also a part of The Junction Trio, which made its highly praised debut at Carnegie Hall last season and returned to 92NY with a world premiere by John Zorn. As a chamber musician, he has also collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Gil Shaham, Steven Isserlis and Mahan Esfahani and he enjoys working with pianist Jeremy Denk, with whom he toured and recorded the complete Ives Violin Sonatas. He has also recorded Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with Inon Barnatan, Alisa Weilerstein, Alan Gilbert and Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Passionate about new music, Jackiw gave the premiere of the violin concerto written for him by Conrad Tao with Atlanta and Baltimore Symphony Orchestras, as well as David Fulmer’s concerto ‘Jauchzende Bögen’ with Matthias Pintscher and Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
