For his debut album, Solo Seven, violinist Marc Djokic presents a collection of pieces for solo violin by Canadian composers. Works by Richard Mascall, Christos Hatzis, Matthias Maute, Kevin Lau, Ana Sokolovic, and Vincent Ho celebrate the violin as a solo instrument, and push the technical, musical, and polyphonic limits of the instrument.

Most of the programme selections are the result of Djokic’s close collaboration with each of the composers. His ever-evolving research into new Canadian violin repertoire is the inspiration behind this project.

Marc Djokic plays on a 1740 Guarneri violin for this recording. His past performances with leading musicians on the world stage include concerts with Beverley Johnston, James Ehnes, Jamie Parker, Measha Brueggergosman, Charles Richard-Hamelin, Isabel Bayrakdarian, Denise Djokic, David Jalbert and Thorwald Jorgensen. As a soloist, Djokic has performed with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and the Quebec Symphony Orchestra.
