Kyiv Virtuosi

**Kyiv Virtuosi** is a dynamic Ukrainian chamber orchestra that’s been dazzling audiences since its founding in 2016 by conductor and cellist Dmitry Yablonsky. Known for their crisp, passionate performances, the ensemble champions works by Ukrainian composers and Eastern European greats while adding fresh energy to classical favorites. Recent releases like *Alexey Shor: Composer's Notebook* (Vols. 1 & 2) highlight their collaboration with the Malta-born composer, blending contemporary lyricism with their signature precision. They’ve also revisited Shostakovich’s emotionally charged *Chamber Symphony* and *Symphony for Strings*, showcasing their knack for balancing intensity with delicate phrasing. Based in Kyiv, the group tours globally, bringing Ukrainian musical heritage to prestigious venues and festivals—all while rocking that polished-but-vibrant sound that keeps classical music feeling alive and relevant.
