Meet Michael Shaham, son of Hagai. He’s 15 years old and he has been playing the violin in Israel under his father’s tuition since he was six.

He has now reached the stage of playing the Tchaikovsky concerto with professional orchestras.

Watch.

Michael’s older sister, Noga, plays viola. She’s 17.

Their aunt is the international mezzo-soprano Rinat Shaham.

    Michael has two older sisters. One should not forget Naomi Shaham. A fantastic double bassist!

  • Congrats to Michael and the entire talented family!!

    It is Noga’s playing which I really noticed, although they are all pretty amazing. Her performances of Kreisler, Debussy and Chausson are on YT – take a look.
