| David Juritz was born in Cape Town, South Africa and began violin lessons at the age of six with Noel Travers.
He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London with Hugh Bean and Jaroslav Vanecek on scholarships
from the Associated Board Scholarship and the Leverhulme Trust.
Whilst he was there he won all the top prizes for violin and was the recipient of the college's highest award, the Tagore Gold Medal.
On leaving college he joined the English Chamber Orchestra, which sponsored his South Bank debut at the Purcell Room in 1985.
Since then he has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in all the major concert halls of the UK,
and has performed widely throughout North America, the Far East, Europe and, most recently in Brazil with the London Mozart Players.

In 1991 he was appointed leader of the UK's longest established chamber orchestra, the London Mozart Players.
David makes frequent appearances with the LMP and other orchestras as soloist and director.
In 1998 he was invited to the USA for concerts with the Philadelphia Virtuosi and as musician in residence at the
Mount Dora Music Festival in Florida.
His recordings of quartets by Szyamanowski and Schubert with the Maggini String Quartet were released by ASV
to enthusiastic reviews and his recently released recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with the London Mozart Players
has been acclaimed as one of the finest interpretations on modern instruments.
David recently acquired a violin by J. B. Guadagnini made in Piacenza in 1748.
