Both as the soloist of an international orchestra and as a sought-after chamber musician, violonist Daishin Kashimoto is a regular guest of major concert halls around the globe. The tremendous wealth of experience gained in over 15 years as first concert master of the Berliner Philharmoniker benefits him in his equally adept role as a soloist, where he plays a wide repertoire ranging from classical to new music.
In the 2025/26 season, Daishin Kashimoto performs Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Lahav Shani and Bruch's Violin Concerto with the Dresdner Philharmonie under Donald Runnicles, a work he will also perform with the orchestra on tour in Japan. Further engagements included appearances with the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya under Thomas Søndergård, and with the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andreas Ottensamer, among others. As Artist in Residence, he continues his close collaboration with the Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester. He will also travel to Japan with the Philharmonisches Oktett Berlin, and, together with his trio partners Éric Le Sage and Claudio Bohórquez, undertake concert tours to Norway, Germany, and Switzerland.
