Based in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, the Kyiv Virtuosi Symphony Orchestra has earned international recognition from audiences and critics as Ukraine's premier symphony orchestra with performances routinely selling-out weeks ahead. Recent tours have taken them to Switzerland, France, Spain, and Azerbaijan, among others.

Dmitry Yablonsky, Chief Conductor & Artistic Director
Dmitry Yablonsky was born into a musical family. At a very early age, he showed musical talent, and at the age of six, he was accepted into the Central Music School for gifted children, where cello became his instrument. His orchestra debut came at the age of nine, when he performed the Haydn C Major Cello Concerto with Gennady Provatorov conducting.
Yablonsky went on to study at the Juilliard School of Music with cello teachers Isaak Buravsky, Zara Nelsova, and David Soyer. He also participated in master classes with Mstislav Rostropovich, Andre Navarra, Maurice Gendron, and Janos Starker. During his graduate program at Yale University, Yablonsky took conducting lessons with OttoWerner Muller, who is considered one of the most influential conducting teachers in the U.S.
His first professional recognition as a cellist came in 1979 when he performed at the well-known Marlboro Music festival, where he was the youngest participant. Since then, he has performed in such recognized concert halls as La Scala, Carnegie Hall, Taiwan National Hall, Codagan Hall, Citede la Musique, and Madrid Auditorium, just to name a few.
Yablonsky’s professional engagements as a conductor began in Camerino, Italy in 1989. Since then, he’s been invited to collaborate with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Moscow Virtuosi, Moscow Soloists, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, De Filarmonie, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Israeli Opera Orchestra Richon LeZion, Tenerife Orchestra, Lamoureux Orchestra, Orchestra National d’Ile de France, Belgian National Orchestra, OFUNAM Orchestra in Mexico, and others. His recent tours to the U.S. and Japan with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra as a Conductor Laureate were performed to sold out concert halls.
Yablonsky was recently appointed to be Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Kyiv Virtuosi Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra’s future releases on the Naxos label will include Shostakovich Chamber Symphonies, Silvestrov, Pleyel, and Hofmann cello concertos, Italian Areas with Azer Rzazadeh, and Dvořák Cello Concertos.
