Both as soloist of international orchestras and as a sought-after chamber musician, Daishin Kashimoto is a regular guest of major concert halls worldwide. His profound and intense interpretations of a wide-ranging repertoire, from Baroque and Classical to the music of our time, draw on the tremendous wealth of experience he has gained during more than 15 years as principal concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Daishin Kashimoto opened the 2026/27 season as Artist in Residence with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, performing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 under the baton of Andrew Manze. As part of the residency, he will perform Toshio Hosokawa’s violin concerto Prayer under Bas Wiegers, lead a chamber music project focusing on Beethoven, and perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 under Kirill Karabits. In December, he will perform the same Prokofiev concerto with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra under Wen-Pin Chien, where he will also lead a chamber music project with the orchestra’s musicians. In February, he will perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with the George Enescu Philharmonic, before returning to Tchai­kov­sky’s concerto as a soloist with the Berliner Philharmoniker on a tour of Japan.
