Vita
The son of a Belarusian father and a Kyrgyz mother, Daniel Lozakovich was born in Stockholm in 2001. He received his first violin lessons at the age of seven; in 2012, he began regular university studies with Josef Rissin in Karlsruhe and continued them with Eduard Wulfson in Geneva, where he completed his master’s degree in 2021. Lozakovich made his debut as a soloist with the Moscow Virtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov when he was only nine. In 2016, he won the International Vladimir Spivakov Competition, which launched his international career, including such opportunities as an appearance with the Mariinsky Orchestra in St. Petersburg. Lozakovich appears regularly with leading orchestras around the world, including the Boston, Chicago and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestras, the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Filarmonica della Scala. In the 2024-25 season, he made his debut in Australia, performing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and giving a recital in Melbourne, toured with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and the WDR Symphony Orchestra, and appeared with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, and the Bavarian State Orchestra. His partners on the podium include Riccardo Chailly, Klaus Mäkelä, Andris Nelsons, Tarmo Peltokoski, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Lahav Shani, Tugan Sokhiev, and Nathalie Stutzmann. Lozakovich has appeared at festivals including the BBC Proms, the Edinburgh Festival, the Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence, and the Baltic Sea Festival, as well as in Tanglewood, Verbier, and Gstaad. As a chamber musician, he performs primarily with pianists Mikhail Pletnev and Alexandre Kantorow, but also with Emanuel Ax, Ivry Gitlis, Martin Fröst, Renaud Capuçon, and Mischa Maisky. After recording four albums with Deutsche Grammophon, he signed an exclusive contract with Warner Classics, on which he released a duo album with Mikhail Pletnev in 2024. Daniel Lozakovich plays the 1713 Stradivarius “ex-Sancy.”
