| Biography | Vadim Gluzman (born 1973) is a Ukrainian-born Israeli classical violinist.
Born in the former Soviet Union, Vadim Gluzman spent most of his childhood in Riga and began violin studies aged seven. He studied with Roman ne in Latvia and Zakhar Bron in Russia. In 1990 his family moved to Israel, where he became a student of Yair Kless. In the US his teachers were Arkady Fomin and, at the Juilliard School, the late Dorothy DeLay and Masao Kawasaki. Early in his career, Gluzman enjoyed the encouragement and support of Isaac Stern, and in 1994 he received the prestigious Henryk Szeryng Foundation Career Award.[2]
Gluzman plays the 1690 Stradivarius violin known as the ex-Leopold Auer (after its previous owner, the Hungarian violinist Leopold Auer); it is on extended loan from the Stradivari Society of Chicago.[2]
