The ICONIC tour will see David Garrett perform as part of a trio with guitar and bass. The concert will showcase David’s latest Deutsche Grammophon album ICONIC, inspired by the Golden Age of the famous violinists of the 20th century featuring Andrea Bocelli, flautist Cocomi and trumpeter Till Brönner.
With a fusion of classical and contemporary flair, the tour promises to be a mesmerising experience, featuring a diverse repertoire in a soulful homage to legendary violinists whose gems and melodies inspired David even as a child.
Audiences will be treated to favourites from the likes of Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvořák, Schubert and JS Bach amongst others.
The Singapore leg of ICONIC will introduce Garrett’s prized new violin, a Guarneri del Gesù from 1734, once owned by the great virtuoso Gaetano Pugnani.
The violin was purchased at auction in June 2022 for € 3.5 million and was the first violin by its maker to be sold at auction in more than a decade.
“I am particularly excited to introduce my new violin on this tour: a Guarneri del Gesù from 1734, once owned by the great virtuoso Gaetano Pugnani,” Garrett said.
“One of the main reasons why I acquired this wonderful instrument, which has not been played for such a long time, was actually this tour – so that I could present it to you.
“I believe that the sound of a Guarneri violin can express all the vulnerability and fragility, everything human – whereas a Stradivarius always sounds somewhat superhuman.
Especially with my current repertoire, which is full of big emotions and feelings, that fragile human touch is much more important to me than the superhuman sound of a Stradivarius.
“That’s why my new Guarneri del Gesù is the perfect violin for the ICONIC concerts – and hopefully you will enjoy listening to it as much as I love playing it.”
Singapore fans should prepare themselves to be enthralled by Garrett’s incredible virtuosity and showmanship as he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible on the violin.
