Master Class with Boris Garlitsky

One of the greatest pedagogues on his instrument today, virtuoso violinist Boris Garlitsky works with student Dmitry Udovichenko on Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major. In this master class, Garlitsky and Udovichenko explore together the impact of the Russian violin school on the only violin concerto Tchaikovsky ever wrote. The incredible masterwork, composed in 1878 and premiered by its dedicatee Adolf Brodsky, is one of the most technically-challenging of the violin concerto repertoire.
