Violinist Jasser Haj Youssef is one of the most outstanding musicians of his generation. Prodigy of the viola d'amore, composer and conductor, he plays jazz, classical and traditional music with artists such as Barbara Hendricks, Didier Lockwood, Youssou N'Dour and Sister Marie Keyrouz. He directed the Paris Chamber Orchestra, the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra and his Sira Symphony Orchestra at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Roman amphitheatre of Carthage. His first album "Sira" is a reference record in the meeting between jazz and Oriental music. The music of "Sira" is studied in national education programs and performed on the most prestigious stages by the Royal Chamber Orchestra of Wallonie (Belgium), the New Music Orchestra (Russia), Debussy String Quartet & the Republican Guard Orchestra (France). Through his second album "Resonance", Jasser Haj Youssef has opened a new way in the history of the viola d'amore (European instrument with sympathetic strings that disappeared during the 18th century). He had lectured at Harvard University and several international schools. During his stay at the Château de Chambord, inspired by the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Jasser created the album "Reminiscence" dedicated to the viola d'amore and to art in general. A booklet rich in literature, photography and calligraphy accompanies this complete and rare physical album. Jasser Haj Youssef volunteers for cultural and humanitarian organizations around the world.
