From the world’s great concert halls to the intimate language of chamber music, violist Gilad Karni has built a career defined by a distinctive sound, musical depth, and expressive intensity. Principal Viola of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich since 2004 and winner of the 1994 Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition, Karni brings these qualities to excerpts from Arnold Schönberg’s Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 — a work where darkness, tension, love, and transformation meet.
