Himari signs with Decca Classics and debuts with the Berliner Philharmoniker

This week marks a significant moment in Himari’s musical journey, as she celebrates two major milestones.: DECCA has signed the young violinist as a global artist. Himari is set to release her debut EP on 23 May 2025 (More in the press release here). Accompanying this announcement is her first digital single – the Franz Waxman arrangement of Pablo Sarasate Carmen Fantasy. (listen here)

And it brings yet another highlight, as Himari prepares for her highly anticipated debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Under the baton of Sebastian Weigle, who is stepping in for Zubin Mehta, she will perform Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in three concerts on 20, 21, and 22 March 2025.

All performances are sold out, but those unable to attend in person can experience the concert on 22 March via the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Digital Concert Hall—both as a livestream and on demand afterward.

Congratulations, Himari!
