Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. Beloved for his charm and humanity as well as his talent, he is treasured by audiences worldwide who respond not only to his remarkable artistry, but also to the irrepressible joy he communicates through making music. Soloist, conductor, recording artist, educator -- Perlman's influence is nearly impossible to quantify. His achievements include a Kennedy Center Honor, the National Medal of Arts, four Emmy Awards, and fiffteen Grammy Awards. How better to celebrate The Paramount's Fall Gala than with this modern master of classical music!
