Stefan Jackiw

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. He also enjoys chamber music, having curated ‘Stefan Jackiw and Friends’ at the 2023 Edinburgh International Festival, and was appointed Artistic Director of Hawaii Chamber Music Festival in 2024.

Highlights of the 2024–25 season include a performance with National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and conductor Hans Graf, and his debut with the Suwon Philharmonic, playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Performances in the US include Sibelius’ Violin Concerto with Erie Philharmonic and Jacksonville Symphony, Mozart with Pasadena Symphony and Korngold with Florida Orchestra.

Jackiw is also a part of The Junction Trio, which made its highly praised debut at Carnegie Hall last season and returns to 92NY to give a world premiere by John Zorn in 2024–25. 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.
