GRAMMY-nominated artist, a concert violinist since age 4, and an award-winning performer (2017 & 2018 Gold Medal, Global Music Awards), ELMIRA DARVAROVA became the first-ever (and so far only) female concertmaster in the history of the Metropolitan Opera. With the MET Orchestra she toured Europe, Japan and the US, and was heard on the MET’s weekly international radio and TV broadcasts. As MET Opera concertmaster she performed with the greatest conductors of our time, including the legendary Carlos Kleiber. She studied with Yfrah Neaman, Josef Gingold and Henryk Szeryng. Hailed by  American Record Guide as a ‘marvelous violinist in the Heifetz tradition’, she can be heard on numerous CDs (including the world-premiere recording of Vernon Duke’s violin concerto with the Vienna Radio Symphony, and a CD with world-premiere recordings of music by René de Castéra, named by MusicWeb International a Record of the Year in 2015). Her album based on Indian Ragas was No. 3 on the BILLBOARD chart.
