Indeed, Itzhak Perlman is primarily known as a famous violin player, but throughout his career, he has dabbled in many an instrument. As per his official website, his main side affair is being a world-renowned conductor: He led the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, National Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, and many other orchestras such as Houston, Seattle, Montreal, and Toronto. Throughout the 2000s, he also acted as musical advisor and guest conductor for several symphonies in the United States. He's also stepped out of the country as conductor and led the Israel Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic, and English Chamber Orchestra.

And when it comes to his violin, Perlman doesn't limit himself to classical music, even though it's through the classical masters that he earned his name. Perlman enjoys playing klezmer, the Ashkenazi Jewish traditional music of Eastern Europe. In 2012, Perlman appeared alongside singer Yitzchak Meir Helfgot in the Sony documentary "Eternal Echoes: Songs & Dances for the Soul," which, along with PBS' "In the Fiddler's House," celebrates klezmer traditions. As per Britannica, Perlman also left a mark on jazz music and played the violin on famous film scores. In fact, his most listened song on Spotify is the main theme from "Schindler's List."
