about
Jagdish Mistry was born in Mumbai, India in 1963. He received his first violin lessons at age eight. In 1975, he moved to England to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School. During his time there, Mistry was frequently invited to perform Bach's Double Concerto and other chamber music pieces with Menuhin in Europe, India and China. One of his instructors was David Takeno under whom Mistry continued to study at the Guildhall School in London. Between 1986 and 1992, he was the primarius of the Mistry String Quartet with which he toured Europe and Asia and recorded works by Edward Elgar, Arnold Bax and Elizabeth Maconchy for Decca Argo, Chandos, Unicorn, and the BBC. At the same time, he continued his career as a soloist, performing with a number of renowned orchestras, such as the Oslo Filharmonien, Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the SWR Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart, Philharmonia Orchestra in London and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Mistry has been a member of the Ensemble Modern since 1994 and has worked closely with some of the most outstanding composers of our time. The Ensemble Modern recently released a CD of works by the American composer George Antheil, for which Jagdish Mistry performed the 1st Violin Sonata and the short piece "Printemps". He regularly performs as a guest concertmaster with various symphony and chamber orchestras in Great Britain and Spain. Jagdish Mistry plays on a J.B. Vuillaume violin
