David Garrett has worked hard to reach the pinnacle of violin playing. His childhood was marked by discipline and daily practice with his father. His father nurtured his talent, supported him, and was also an ambitious driving force. At the age of ten, David Garrett was already performing on stage with the greatest international orchestras and later, as a teenager, he played all the major works of classical music until, in his early twenties, he freed himself from the straitjacket of his child prodigy existence and went to study in New York. There he laid the foundation for a new genre of classical music, crossover, in which he combines virtuoso violin music with contemporary pop music—making him more famous than ever before. David Garrett has already released 17 albums, which have reached 18 top ten rankings in Europe and the US alone. While five classical albums in a row climbed to No. 1 in the charts, he also achieved this feat with the crossover bestseller Rock Symphonies. More than five million CDs and 5.6 billion streams worldwide testify to the international popularity of David Garrett, whose recordings have been honored with 14 platinum and 32 gold awards. He has been enthusiastically celebrated by over four million fans at around 1,600 live concerts around the world. Creativity and versatility have made the violin virtuoso one of the most successful solo artists of all time, effortlessly moving between the most prestigious concert halls and the largest arenas.
David Garrett considers "Millennium Symphony" to be his personal "crossover evolution." Like no other, the violinist and composer symbolizes the fusion of symphonic sounds and popular music, which finds its perfect expression in his Millennium Symphony. In it, David Garrett reinterprets the greatest pop songs of the last 25 years, including mega-hits by Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, David Guetta, Udo Lindenberg, and Apache 207. Their live staging on a grand scale is eagerly awaited.
