PARIS \u2014 Ivry Gitlis, an acclaimed violinist who played with famed conductors, rock stars and jazz bands around the world and worked to make classical music accessible to the masses, has died in Paris at 98.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s culture minister announced his death Thursday, hailing him as \u201ca magnificent performer, a generous musician\u201d who dedicated his life \u201cto serving all kinds of music.\u201d The cause of death and plans for funeral arrangements were not immedia<\/a>tely announced.<\/p>\n

Recognizable in recent decades by his long white hair and distinctive caps and scarves, Gitlis began playing in the 1920s and performed into the 2010s. The Paris Philharmonic celebrated \u201cone of the longest and most prolific careers in the history of music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gitlis was born in Haifa in 1922, and sent to the Paris Conservatory at age 10 under the guidance of violinist Bronislaw Huberman, the ministry said. He continued training in Europe and the U.S., where he performed with leading conductors starting in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

Gitlis performed with the Rolling Stones and jazz stars, app<\/a>eared on French television shows and founded a French music festival in the 1970s where listeners ate and slept in a field while listening to music.<\/p>\n

Among his many worldwide appearances, Gitlis was the first Israeli musician to perform in Soviet Russia, in 1963, according to Le Monde.<\/p>\n

He held charity concerts in Japan after the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami while many other performers canceled shows, Japan\u2019s Kyodo news<\/a> agency reported, and played a violin made from wooden debris from the disaster.<\/p><\/div>\n
