This article is about the American violinist. For the accountant to Oskar Schindler, see Itzhak Stern. For the early Massachusetts settler, see Isaac Stearns.
Isaac Stern (July 21, 1920 – September 22, 2001) was an American violinist.[1]
Born in Ukraine, Stern moved to the United States when he was 14 months old. Stern performed both nationally and internationally, notably touring the Soviet Union and China, and performing extensively in Israel, a country to which he had close ties since shortly after its founding.
Stern received extensive recognition for his work, including winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom and six Grammy Awards, and being named to the French Legion of Honour. The Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall bears his name, due to his role in saving the venue from demolition in the 1960s.

One of the great violinists of the 20th century was born 100 years ago today, and the magic of his playing is just as enchanting and compelling as ever.
Great violinist Isaac Stern – born 100 years ago today (Tuesday 21 July 2020) – once said that he wished “to use the violin to make music, never to use music just to play the violin.” His playing was never flashy, but more singing with the joy of music.
We love this footage of him playing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, recorded in 1972 at The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Watch as every note sings through the whole instrument and is full of emotion, joy, certainty, and his unique voice. What a violinist – and what a human.
