The Official David Garrett Channel

Part maverick, part genius, total virtuoso, David Garrett, 31, has been surprising people since before he was four years old. It was then that his father gave him a violin and, without any lessons, the toddler picked it up and began playing. David personifies the term 'virtuoso' and has been performing publicly since the age of ten. Even breaking his priceless Stradivarius Violin by falling on it hasn't stopped David from rising to the top of his game.

He has been dubbed the David Beckham of the violin, but this moniker isn't just about his looks, it's also a reference to the sheer dedication and hard work that has resulted in David Garrett becoming one of the finest players of his generation.
