Yossif Ivanov
Yossif Ivanov is a phenomenal violinist. At the age of five, he reached the final in the Young Soloists programme. At the age of 19, he took second prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, the highest place ever achieved by a Belgian at this prestigious event.  At just 22 years of age he was appointed professor at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. The first episode in the television series  " Jeunes Solistes, Grands Destins " relates Yossif’s fascinating story. It was his father who introduced him to the violin, himself concertmaster with the DeFilharmonie orchestra (the Royal Flemish Philharmonic).
