Igor Ozim is one of the most sought-after violin teachers in Europe. Igor Ozim was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia. After finishing his studies in his hometown, he studied with Max Rostal in London, winning the Carl-Flesch-Competition in 1951, followed by the first prize in the ARD Competition Munich in 1953. This was followed by an intense concert activity in Europe and overseas. His large repertoire encompasses around 60 violin concertos and numerous chamber music works. Many contemporary works of which he has given first performances are dedicated to him. He has performed with important international orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and many others. Igor Ozim recorded classical as well as contemporary repertoire extensively. He taught at the Conservatories in Cologne and Bern and since 2002 at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
