Amihai Grosz, principal violist of the Berlin Philharmonic - introduced by Alondra de la Parra

Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra meets Amihai Grosz, Principal Violist of the Berlin Philharmonic, in his apartment in Berlin - and to go jogging! They talk about his career, working in an orchestra, his tasks as Principal Violist, what it feels like to live in Berlin, and coronavirus. Grosz plays parts of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Gigue from his Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007 (00:00, 02:42, 05:51) and Sarabande from his Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008 (09:01), exclusively for de la Parra. In addition, we’ll hear extracts from Franz Schubert’s Octet in F major (04:25, 07:38) performed by the Philharmonic Octet Berlin. Amihai Grosz is one of the outstanding violists of our time. Born in Jerusalem, he initially took up the violin aged five, before switching to Viola at eleven. He studied with David Chen at the Jerusalem Academy of Music. He later continued his studies with Tabea Zimmermann at Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” and with Haim Taub at the Keshet Eilon Music Center in Israel. In September 2010, Grosz became principal solo violist with the Berlin Philharmonic. As a soloist, he has played with renowned orchestras such as the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Grosz is a founding member of the Jerusalem String Quartet and is a member of the Philharmonic Octet Berlin. Grosz’s instrument was made by Gasparo da Salò in the sixteenth century. It was lent to him for life by its private collector. Alondra de la Parra is a highly acclaimed Mexican conductor. Born in 1980, she made history in 2017 by being appointed the first female conductor and music director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, one of Australia’s three largest. In 2004 she became the first Mexican woman to conduct in New York. Since then, de la Parra has conducted over 100 orchestras in 20 countries. She is also an official cultural ambassador of Mexico.
