"Dazzling with originality…a superlative concert" exclaimed a recent review in The Strad of Adrian Justus' London recital debut at Wigmore Hall. Winner of the coveted Gold Medal in the Henryk Szerying International Violin Competition, the Mexican-Israeli violinist is quickly gaining attention in the international music press for his outstandingly warm tone, poignant interpretations, and remarkable depth of expression.
Born in Mexico City, Adrian Justus began playing the violin at an early age, taking lessons from Prof. Vazka, Yuriko Kuronuma and Stanislav Kawalla, and quickly winning numerous competitions in his native country. He then studied with Zvi Zeitlin at the Eastman School of Music, where he was awarded a Performer's Certificate for his exceptional musicality, unanimously recommended by the string faculty. One of only four violinists enrolled in the prestigious Pinchas Zukerman Performance Program at the Manhattan School of Music, Adrian Justus worked regularly with Mr. Zukerman.
Mr. Justus has performed at such major venues, including Carnegie Hall, New York, Tokyo's Suntory Hall, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Prague Castle Spanish Hall, Bellas Artes Hall in Mexico City, and in London's Wigmore Hall and the Barbican Center. At the Barbican Center, Mr. Justus gave a recital as part of the Janacek Festival. During his third tour of Japan he performed and was interviewed on the NHK Television Art Series. As a concerto soloist Mr. Justus has performed with numerous orchestras, including the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, The Kyoto Symphony in Japan, Haifa Symphony, Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico, Orquesta Filarmonica de la OFUNAM in Mexico City, Filarmonica de Jalisco in Guadalajara, and the Prague Festival Orchestra, among others.
His several CD's include a Carlton Classics release of the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the London Philharmonia Orchestra, and most recently, a CD of contemporary chamber music entitled "Tapestry".
Mr. Justus has also studied composition, having written several works for his instrument, including original cadenzas for the Mozart Concerti. After his Tokyo recital debut at Suntory Hall, The Japan Times applauded Adrian Justus' extraordinary communicative powers: "With a few strokes… Justus produces more passion than the most of us could in a lifetime…"
Adrian Justus performs on the Marlborough Stradivarius (1718) which is loaned to him by the Juvi Cultural Foundation.
