Aleksey Semenenko

Violinist Aleksey Semenenko has appeared in many countries as a recitalist and concerto soloist. He is a fresh representative of the long violin tradition of his home city of Odessa, Ukraine. Major breakthroughs came at the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York in 2012 and the Boris Goldstein International Violin Competition in 2015, both of which Semenenko won. Touring with the Odessa Philharmonic in the U.S., he met sports equipment heir Ed Wilson, who bought him a rare Bernardel violin at an auction. In 2018, Semenenko made his recording debut with the album Romantic, Brilliant, Imaginative. In 2021, Semenenko issued the album American Violin Sonatas, on which he was joined by pianist Artem Belogurov.
