pavel ilyashov

Violinist Pavel Ilyashov has been enthusiastically applauded by audiences throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas for his performances as soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. The Miami Harold described a recent concert as a "Breathtaking display of virtuosity and rhapsodic expression". A class of 2003 graduate from Philadelphia’s renowned Curtis Institute of Music, Pavel has performed chamber music with such musicians as Yo Yo Ma, Jaime Laredo, Paquito D’Rivera, and members of the Guarneri, Orion and Emerson String Quartets. Pavel’s performances have been broadcast on CBS, ABC, PBS, and the popular radio program Performance Today. A debut CD under the sponsorship of the Buder Charitable Foundation has been released to critical acclaim. Another disk featuring works of Ravel will be released this summer on the Albany Records label. This season, Pavel tours throughout North America and Mexico with a unique program of works written for unaccompanied violin. Other solo engagements include concerto performances with the Virginia Symphony, a Midwest recital tour with his sister, pianist Maria Ilyashov, and chamber music concerts at the Bargemusic festival in New York and festivals in Spain and Italy. Pavel is a full time member of the Virginia Symphony and a substitute violinist with the Philadelphia and Chicago Symphony Orchestras.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
