The brilliant young Israeli mandolinist has wowed audiences from Berlin to Tokyo to Carnegie Hall with his exciting performances of Baroque, 20th-century, and new music. Avital, whom the New York Times lauded for his “stunning agility” and “exquisitely sensitive playing,” has performed with the Israel Philharmonic, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle, Yo-Yo Ma, and Dawn Upshaw, among others.
