The Maimonides Society of United Jewish Federation of Tidewater hosts an evening of music by Pavel Ilyashov, a Virginia Symphony violinist. Ilyashov will play pieces written by Bronislaw Huberman, the celebrated Polish violinist who rescued some of the world’s greatest musicians from Nazi Germany and then created one of the world’s greatest orchestras, the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, which is today known as the Israeli Philharmonic.

A graduate of Philadelphia’s renowned Curtis Institute of Music, he has performed chamber music with Yo Yo Ma, Jaime Laredo, Paquito D’Rivera, and members of the Guarneri, Orion and Emerson String Quartets.
A full time member of the Virginia Symphony, Ilyashov is a substitute violinist with the Philadelphia and Chicago Symphony Orchestras.
