In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene". While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period".
At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. David Garrett (born David Bongartz, 1980 sept 4 in Aachen, Germany) is a classical violinist and recording artist.
