Biography

[編集]

Two Violins was found in 2010 by the violin teacher Andrew Malakhov (2 Kyiv Children School of Arts named after M.Verykivskyi) and his manager Galyna Chyburovska in Kyiv, Ukraine. Andrew Malakhov had a dream to grow up a “universal musician” able to perform music in every style with no borders. It was his experiment with young promising pupils: Illya and Tetiana whose talent and artistry could no longer stay unnoticed.
From the very first steps, the violinists play on the very good handmade instruments, made by Ukrainian luthier. Since their first concert, they've always performed with adult professional musicians only - bands, soloists and orchestras.They have been collaborating with adult professionals - soloists, bands, chamber ensembles, big orchestra - and have already performed with world famous musicians, and in great musical and cultural venues such as Casa Verdi (Milan), The United Nations (New York), Prince Harry's Charity Ball (London), and Carnegie Hall (America).
Also these experienced greatly developed their experience in many ways, I.e. touring, travel, working in an ensemble, greater concentration, physical and emotional stamina, higher work capacity, and effective communication ability. And the violinists have become very professional artists in their own right. Two Violins continue to fill venues, whether they are philharmonic, jazz stage or festivals. Audiences constantly admire the incredible unity of the duo, and the subtle content of each musical piece. The audience's fascination with the performers seems to be inexhaustible – for many, it is very hard to believe that such young musicians can be quite as brilliant across the wide, varied and complex repertoire they have developed.

Projects

[編集]

2015 has been a very busy year for “Two Violins”, with achievements and triumphs.
Two Violins became the part of the YPHIL – the Youth International Philharmonic Orchestra – which performed at the world famous Carnegie Hall, New York, on September 27th. While other members of the youth orchestra ranged from 18 to 35 years of age, Illia and Tetiana were by far the youngest musicians in the orchestra (they were 13), conducted by Jose Luis Gomez, and featuring soloist Alexander Markov on principle violin.

Two Violins also played a wonderful concert at the one of the biggest jazz festivals in Europe – the Alfa Jazz Fest, in Lviv, Ukraine, in June. Two Violins backed by Natalia Lebedeva gathered the biggest audience of the festival's history. They performed to the capacity crowd of over 2,500 people – that is all the square could hold.

Spring Tour of 2015 spanned THREE European countries with THREE entirely different programs.
They won the audition to take part at one of the most prestigious professional Baroque competitions – the International H.I.F. Biber Competition of 2015, in St. Florian, Austria. Two Violins were invited after as an exception because they were only 13 y.o. and went through the contest on the same rules with the adult musicians.

Then it was off to Lithuania and the "Jazz Fantanas" festival, with three first prizes and diplomas.
They finished the tour in the beautiful setting of Barlassina, Milan, Italy where they participated in the international competition for violinists and pianists Young Talents and Orchestra 2015.

In 2014, Two Violins became the face of the grand international project "Puzzles of Eternity", aimed to restore the Pinzel Museum in Lviv and preserve the priceless sculptures by Johann George Pinzel (18 century).
The project premiere took place at the United Nations on October 16, 2014 in New York. On November 19th, 2014, the project was presented personally by the First Lady of Ukraine M.Poroshenko at the Ukrainian Church and Embassy, in London.
On November 28th, 2014, Two Violins were invited to the Charity Ball “” in London, an event which raised 1.5 million pounds for charity needs – for people who suffered from war.
On October 22, 2015 Two Violins and Natalia Lebedeva Trio presented the new “Bach in Jazz”. This program features jazz arrangements of J.S. Bach written specifically for Two Violins by leading Ukrainian jazz pianist, composer, teacher and arranger, Natalia Lebedeva.
To these arrangements, world renowned jazz musician Aaron Goldberg said, “These are brilliant arrangements, made with amazing intellect and taste.” And also, “These are the best arrangements of Bach I've ever heard."
In 2016, Bach in Jazz concerts of Two Violins and Natalia Lebedeva Trio were established in The Netherlands just before the referendum on of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, providing musicians' mission as the part of cultural diplomacy of Ukraine.

The tour was realized thanks to Prof. Bohdan Hawrylyshyn, Producer Center "Jazz in Kiev", the Department of Cultural diplomacy of the MFA, Fr. Mykola Paliuh, Ludmyla Lisovska, Lysenko Choir in The Netherlands, Ukraine international Airlines, and all the great people who believe music.

“Amazing! And scary. They made me feel like a beginner. Some people have old bones…” – Karl Lathan, the drummer, USA

“It was fascinating to hear two young violinists from Ukraine – I still cannot believe what accomplished performers they were, at such a tender age. They were wonderfully talented, and played flawlessly, entertaining everyone with their skills and, especially, the sheer joy with which they played. Now that I know their names, I shall look out for them in the future – I am sure that they will achieve great things» – DM, London (Charity Ball of Prince Harry)

“They’re incredibly talented violinists! They are so talented that I feel hurt the classical music has lost two Motsarts at once!” – Liana Isakadze on the jazz music, the violinist, Paris

“I looked at them and understood they are really good. And they are real professionals who want and know how to play. I made few very difficult pieces and they played it all just like the monsters!” – Natalia Lebedeva, the pianist, composer, arranger, Kyiv

“Music is not the collection of the notes. Music is a style. Illia and Tetiana prove it with every their performance” – Ralph Rousseau Meulenbroeks, the viola da gamba player

“Wow! Wow! Wow! They are so good! I just love the intonation from the violins – the slurred notes, the bridge play, and the interplay. They are better than most acts here already!!! Great to see young people doing music to such a standard” – David Day, songwriter, recorder, GB

Teacher

[編集]

Andriy Malakhov – teacher, musical director.
Teaches since 1983, Specialist of the top level, Honored teacher. Graduated from Ukrainian Musical institute behalf R.M. Glier, and devoted his life to teaching children.
His pupils participate in various international festivals, concerts, competitions, orchestras, bands – even those of them who haven’t choose music as a profession.

Switzerland organization of strings ESTA invited Andrew Malakhov to organize gathered chamber orchestra of his strings quartet and Switzerland kids. The concerts had a great success, Andrew Malakhov performed as a conductor. He received a lot of propositions to stay teaching in Switzerland, but he declined the proposition because he couldn’t leave his violin class in Ukraine.

“Kid gets into the vortex of music – and it swallows the kid. Isn’t this the most important aim? To achieve it, we need the “triad” of the child, parents, and teacher. Working in such a team gives an astounding result!”

Violin Master

[編集]

Boris Dmitriev – luthier, violin master, physicist, studied acoustics at the university.
Violin master and expert Boris Dmitriev says: „I’ve always considered an opportunity to construct the violin as a lucky chance to make the world brighter, and more beautiful.”
He started to create violins 30 years ago, and it turned into a long and interesting way of searching the Sound. He uses the unique technology created by himself during long years of studying the nature of Italian instruments.
Today, his strings instruments are well known in Ukraine, Russia, France, Italy, Germany, and Poland. To get his instrument requires being a real musician who can dedicate his life to music. Otherwise, the Master will refuse your order.
Grand grandson of Paganini who visited Two Violins concert in Palazzo Ducally in Genoa was sure the instruments were made by Italian master of 17 century. We had to disappoint and astonish him with the mastership of Ukrainian luthier, and the virtuosity of young performers.
