Regretfully, Tessa Lark, our scheduled violin soloist, and Emily Deans, viola, had to withdraw at the last minute. Instead, Kobi Malkin, violin, and Derek Mosloff, viola, joined Symphony by the Sea for this concert series.
Kobi Malkin, born in Israel, began his violin studies at the age of six at the Karmiel Conservatory. He has been studying with Prof. Arthur Zisserman and Hagai Shaham, and currently is a full scholarship student at the New England Conservatory in Boston, studying with Miriam Fried. Kobi recently won the prestigious Ilona Kornhauser prize in the 2011 Aviv competition of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. He is also a prizewinner of the Zvi Rotenberg competition of the Haifa Symphony Orchestra, the Canetti International Violin Competition, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic String Competition and New England Conservatory's Violin Competition.
Since his debut in Israel at the age of 14, Kobi has performed as a soloist with the Haifa, the Ra'anana and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestras, the Ashdod Chamber Orchestra, the Young Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, the Jerusalem Music Academy Symphony Orchestra, the Ruse Philharmonic, and New England Conservatory's Philharmonia under the batons of Hugh Wolff, Stanley Sperber, Rafi Kadishzon, Yevgeny Zirlin, Menahem Nebenhaus, Ze'ev Dorman and Dov Zeltser.
Between the years 2004-2007 he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as an "Outstanding Musician". Malkin is a regular scholarship recipient of the America Israel Culture Foundation and of the Ilona Feher Foundation. He plays a 1771 J. B. Guadagnini generously loaned to him by Yehuda Zisapel.
Derek Mosloff currently studies with Roger Tapping at the New England Conservatory of music, pursuing his master's degree. He is an active performer in the Boston area, serving as the principal viola of the Orchestra of Indian Hill, as well as a violist in the Discovery Ensemble. In 2008 Mosloff was awarded a fellowship to Tanglewood Music Center, and he has been invited to return for 2009, 2010, and as a New Fromm player for the 2011 season. Mosloff earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, studying viola with Jonah Sirota of the Chiara String Quartet.
