This concert will deliver a thrilling blend of innovation and timeless beauty. Hailed as one of the most compelling violinists in the world, Vadim Repin shines in Prokofiev’s lyrical and dynamic Violin Concerto No. 2. The program also includes the world premiere of Paul Moravec’s Lullaby, commissioned for Palm Beach Symphony, alongside his Miami Variations, and Brahms’ richly romantic Symphony No. 3.

Repin was born in Siberia in 1971 and won all categories of the Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition at the age of 11. By the age of 15, he made debuts in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, Munich, Berlin, Helsinki and Carnegie Hall. At 17, he was the youngest ever winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Since then, he has performed with the world's most prominent orchestras and conductors in all the major music venues.

In 2010, Repin was awarded the highest French distinction, the Victoire d'Honneur and the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres for his services to music. He was appointed Honorary Professor of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing in 2014 and at the Shanghai Conservatory in 2015. Music education plays an important role in Repin’s life. He has given masterclasses for young violinists at Mozarteum University Salzburg and been on the jury of the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition, Tchaikovsky Competition and Queen Elisabeth Competition.
