Itzhak Perlman, violin

Itzhak Perlman, the internationally celebrated violinist, returns to the Music Center at Strathmore alongside his frequent musical collaborator, pianist Rohan De Silva, for a recital presented by Washington Performing Arts. Fresh off their highly successful North American tour “An Evening with Itzhak Perlman” in the 2025/26 season, Perlman and De Silva will perform a program announced from the stage. The evening concludes with an onstage “Linger Longer” conversation between Perlman and Washington Performing Arts President & CEO Jenny Bilfield. Perlman, a friend of Washington Performing Arts since the 1960s, is known for his decades-long career marked by remarkable artistry, humanity, and an infectious joy for making music, with The Washington Post noting that “Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing has always had a sweet, gracious quality about it that communicates the joy he finds in making music.”
