    Hello!

    More informations about David´s appearance in the US on the 8th April!

    Hi Birgit,

    I work with WLIW21. Here are more details about our April 8 broadcast with David Garrett.

    Next Wednesday, April 8 at 8 p.m., WLIW21 New York Public Television presents the exclusive broadcast premiere of DAVID GARRETT: LIVE IN BERLIN. Hailed as the David Beckham of the classical scene, young German violinist, David Garrett, weaves classical standards with rock and pop favorites in his first U.S. concert special. Video preview:

    David Garrett is poised for American superstardom and will be live in the WLIW21 studio on Wednesday, April 8 at 8 p.m. During the two-hour broadcast premiere, WLIW21 will offer exclusive tickets to David Garrett´s April 22 concert at City Winery in New York City!  Visit www.wliw.org for details.

     

    Born in Aachen, Germany in 1981, David Garrett is noted for being one of the first students to study under legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman while at The Julliard School in New York City, from which he graduated in 2004. Already a huge star in Europe and the Far East, Garrett´s star shines brightly particularly in Germany, where he has played sold-out arenas, and garnered two gold discs for both of his records released there. On the famous Last Night of Proms in the UK, he played to a crowd of 40,000 people, and also appeared at the legendary Royal Albert Hall in an impressive six concerts in seven days.  His sole album released there became a Top 20 chart fixture as well.

     

    DAVID GARRETT: LIVE IN BERLIN will premiere nationwide June 2009 on PBS (check local listings) in honor of the June 2 release of Garretts self-titled Decca debut. U.S. audiences will see and hear first-hand what the rest of the world has already discovered: incredible technique, incomparable skill and unrelenting passion for the violin. For more on David Garrett and the full broadcast song list see below.

    More on David Garrett

    David´s back story is as equally intriguing as his music. Born in Germany to an American ballerina mother and a German lawyer father, he was a true child prodigy. At age eight, David was being booked to play as a soloist in front of some of the worlds greatest orchestras.  When he turned 13, he was signed to the most prestigious classical music label in the world, Deutsche Grammophon.  As a teenager, he ached to escape the confines of classical music, and the grueling career he felt he could no longer sustain.  Without telling his parents, he fled to New York to sample life as a normal adolescent, and discovered the temptations of city living. The classical violin was put aside in favor of rock music, clubs and girls.  Eventually his passion for the violin returned, and on a lark he auditioned at the world famous Juilliard music school.  He was accepted, and to his surprise, taken on by legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman as a student. Taking odd jobs for cash, David found himself working as a busboy and later, modeling. Effortlessly, he eventually landed in the pages of Vogue, and the Fashion Week catwalks for Armani, all the while pursuing his musical dreams. With a multi-faceted international career, arresting good looks and charisma, it´s not surprising that David landed a deal as a global brand ambassador for Banana Republic, appearing in their 2009 national advertising campaign for spring/summer, âCity Stories. Additional endorsements overseas include the brands Audi and Montblanc.  Dubbed, as the fastest violinist in the world, by German paper Kolner Stadt-Anzeigere, David will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-ever performer of The Flight of the Bumblebee, clocking in at a blistering 66 seconds. Lauded conductor and Kennedy Center Honoree Zubin Mehta put it best when he said, David Garrett is surely going to have a resounding presence on the music world of the 21st century.

    A big, big "Thank You" to my friend Stephen in New York!
    I love you!!

    He wrote me this:

    Hi
    I taped it on a VHS tape but I think our format is different.  One of my staff members Brother was able to record it on DVD and is mailing it to me.  When I have it I will fwd it.  The concert was part of 'Public Broadcastings' drive for donations.  There are lots of pauses to the concert asking the audience to call in a pledge money to the effort to keep PBS on the air and free.  You also get a behind the scenes interview with David, etc.
     
    Once I have the DVD from my colleague I will mail it off to you directly.
     
    Hugs
    Stephen
     
    Maybe we should commit David to record his US-Shows for his faithful European fans the next time....Big Smile

    Hi,

    I got to know this morning that the show on WLIW was a great success and the audience response was amazing!!

    The tickets for the City Winery were sold out faster than ever. All other PBS stations across the US will broadcast it in May/June.

    This is absolutely fantastic and David has deserved the success!
