Daniel Lozakovich

The son of a Belarusian father and a Kyrgyz mother, Daniel Lozakovich was born in Stockholm in 2001. He undertook his first violin lessons at the age of seven; in 2012, he began his regular university studies with Josef Rissin in Karlsruhe and, starting in 2015, continued 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 at the age of nine. He subsequently won the International Vladimir Spivakov Competition in 2016 and launched his international career, including a performance with the Mariinsky Orchestra in St. Petersburg. Lozakovich now works regularly with leading orchestras around the world, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Philadelphia Orchestra and Nathalie Stutzmann, and the Cleveland Orchestra and Klaus Mäkelä. He made his debut with the Filarmonica della Scala under Riccardo Chailly in 2023 and in May 2024 will perform Brahms’s Double Concerto with Mäkelä as cellist and conductor and the Oslo Philharmonic; they will then go on tour together, with stops at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Paris Philharmonie, and the Vienna Konzerthaus. Lozakovich has performed at such festivals as the BBC Proms, the Edinburgh Festival, the Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence, and the Baltic Sea Festival, as well as at Tanglewood. As a chamber musician, he has performed with the pianists Behzod Abduraimov, Emanuel Ax, Sergei Babayan, David Fray, Alexandre Kantorow, and Mikhail Pletnev; the violinist Renaud Capuçon; and the cellist Mischa Maisky. He has been an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2016 and has since released four albums on the label, including Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Daniel Lozakovich alternates between playing on two Stradivarius instruments: the “ex-Baron Rothschild” from 1710 and “Le Reynier” from 1727.
