In 1985 Hagai Shaham joined Isaac Stern and Pinchas Zukerman in a gala concert at Carnegie Hall in honour of Maestro Stern’s sixty-fifth birthday. He has performed with all the major orchestras in Israel, and with the English Chamber Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Slovak Philharmonic and Singapore Symphony orchestras, among many others. He is also in great demand as a recitalist, and regularly tours in Europe and North and Central America. In December 2006 he performed Brahms’s Double Concerto with Misha Maisky and the Israel Philharmonic, under Zubin Mehta, as part of the the orchestra’s seventieth anniversary celebrations.
Hagai Shaham’s recordings for Hyperion—including concertos by Hubay and Ferdinand David—have all been enthusiastically received. He currently teaches at the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music, Tel Aviv University.
