David Garrett

He worked with Zubin Mehta and Claudio Abbado as a child and recorded all 24 Caprices by Paganini at the age of 15. David Garrett, who his teacher Yehudi Menuhin once called the "greatest violinist of his generation", has played with many of the world's great orchestras during his career: Whether with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra or the Filharmonica della Scala. His number 1 album "Rock Symphonies" marked his breakthrough as a celebrated crossover artist. His violin versions of legendary classics such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "November Rain" and "Master of Puppets" caused a sensation.

On his new album "Millennium Symphony", Garrett now interprets great pop hits from the past 25 years - by Taylor Swift and Rihanna, Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd, David Guetta, Udo Lindenberg, Apache 207 and many more. The star violinist once again proves how phenomenally he unites the sound worlds of pop and classical music and pushes the boundaries between serious and popular music. Fans can find out just how fascinating this "crossover evolution" (Garrett about his new album) sounds live at the start of his new arena tour on 20 March 2025 in the Olympic Hall.
