VERY SAD NEWS | American Violinist David Nadien Has Passed Away - Aged 88

American violin virtuoso David Nadien has passed away, in New York City – aged 88.

A student of Adolfo Betti, Ivan Galamian and Adoph Busch, Mr Nadien served as Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic from 1966 to 1970

Widely respected as one of the most technically perfect violinists of all time, Mr Nadien was engaged by both David Oistrakh and Yehudi Menuhin, at various times during their careers, for technical advice.

His recorded legacy of Concertmaster solos will forever serve as one of the definitive references for orchestral leaders world over.
