Join Sotheby’s as we trace the remarkable 300-year journey of the Joachim-Ma Stradivarius, from New York City and London to Cremona, Italy. Valued at $12 million USD, this historic violin has shaped musical artistry for centuries. Crafted in 1714 by Antonio Stradivari during his Golden Period, it has inspired virtuosos from Joseph Joachim to Charlie Siem, who performs Brahms’s Violin Concerto in this short documentary. This violin’s legacy continues through Si-Hon Ma, who played it for over 40 years before it was donated to the New England Conservatory to create transformative opportunities for young musicians. Now, this masterpiece will be auctioned at Sotheby’s New York on 7 February at 11:15 AM EST, with proceeds benefiting the New England Conservatory’s scholarship fund. #JoachimMaStradivarius #StradivariusViolin #SothebysDocumentary #ClassicalMusic #BrahmsViolinConcerto #AntonioStradivari #MusicHistory #CharlieSiem #VirtuosoPerformance #NewEnglandConservatory #CremonaItaly #Ra...
