Dora Schwarzberg

Dora Schwarzberg, born backstage at a Jewish Theatre to musician parents, embraced the artistic creed that "the violin must speak and cry!" Rooted in this belief, she trained at the Stoliarsky School in Russia and with Yuri Yankelevitch at the Moscow Conservatory.

Schwarzberg has performed with leading orchestras globally, including the New York Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra, and is celebrated as a chamber musician, having played in venues like the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Vienna Musikverein. Influenced by luminaries such as Isaac Stern and Yehudi Menuhin, her diverse collaborations span artists like Martha Argerich and Misha Maisky. An American musician once described her as a quintessential representative of the Odessa-Moscow-Jerusalem-NY violin school. Beyond performance, Schwarzberg is a devoted teacher, holding a professorship in Vienna, where her students frequently win international competitions. Her repertoire ranges from baroque to Argentinian Tangos, unified by her love for the music and her desire to share it with audiences.
