Bio:

Jascha Brodsky (June 6, 1907 – March 3, 1997) was a Russian-American violinist and teacher.

Born in Kharkiv, in the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire (in present-day Ukraine), he began his violin studies with his violinist father at the age of six. He later studied at the conservatory in Tbilisi, Georgia, and by 1926, was performing successfully all over the Soviet Union. That same year, he went to Paris to study with Lucien Capet. There he also played for Sergei Prokofiev and performed with pianist Vladimir Horowitz and violinists Nathan Milstein and Mischa Elman.

Soon thereafter, he moved again, to Belgium to study with the legendary Eugène Ysaÿe.
