Josefowicz made her Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 16 and immediately followed this with her debut recording of the Tchaikovsky and the Sibelius concertos for Philips Classics. Since that time, she has appeared with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras and conductors. A regular, close collaborator with leading composers of the day such as John Adams and Oliver Knussen, Josefowicz is a strong advocate of new music – a characteristic which is reflected in her diverse programmes and her enthusiasm to première new works.
Highlights of the current season include performances with the BBC Symphony, Czech Philharmonic, and Hong Kong Philharmonic. In North America, Josefowicz has made her subscription debut with the Chicago Symphony playing the Knussen Violin Concerto with Esa-Pekka Salonen and returns to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Minnesota Orchestra.
