Italian violinist and conductor Salvatore Accardo will collaborate with violinist Laura Gorna and viola player Francesco Fiore to present Dvorak’s “Bagatelles Op. 47,” Mozart’s “Duo for Violin & Viola No. 1 in G Major, K. 423,” Prokofiev’s “Sonata for Two Violins in C Major, Op. 56” and Dvorak’s “Terzetto, Op.74 for Two Violins and Viola.”

    Accardo is known for his interpretations of the works of Niccolo Paganini. He gave his first professional recital at the age of 13 performing Paganini’s capricci. In 1958, Accardo became the first prize winner of the Paganini Competition in Genoa.

    He has recorded Paganini’s “24 Caprices” for solo violin and was the first violinist to record all six of the violin concerti by Paganini. He has an extensive discography of almost 50 recordings. Notably, he recorded an album of classical and contemporary work in 1995 on Paganini’s Guarneri del Gesu 1742 violin, Il Cannone.

    Accardo founded the Accardo Quartet in 1992 and he was one of the founders of the Walter Stauffer Academy in 1986. He founded the Settimane Musicali Internazionali in Naples and the Cremona String Festival in 1971. In 1996, he re-founded the Orchestra da Camera Italiana (O.C.I.).
