At five she started formal lessons with Idel Low. At eight she switched to Robert Lipsett, California's top violin teacher.

At age 13 her family moved to Philadelphia so she could attend the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music where she studied with Jaime Laredo, Joseph Gingold, Felix Galimir, and Jascha Brodsky.

Still in her teens, she played with the symphonic orchestras of Philadelphia, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto.

Josefowicz made her Carnegie Hall debut in 1994 performing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

The same year she signed an exclusive recording contract with Philips Classics, recording the Tchaikovsky and Sibelius concertos.

She has kept a busy schedule as a soloist, performing throughout North America, Europe, Japan, China, and Australia.
