Violin
Violinist Rachel Koblyakov appears regularly as both soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe and abroad. Equally passionate about performing classical as well as freshly-composed music, she has given concerts in a number of halls, among them Printemps des Arts Festival of Monte-Carlo, the ElbPhilharmonie Hamburg, the Philharmonie de Paris, Lucerne Festival and various venues in New York and the US.

Dedicated to exploring and cultivating new compositions, she has had the good fortune to work closely with a number of composers, including Wolfgang Rihm, Matthias Pintscher, Stefano Gervasoni, Samuel Andreyev, and Stuart Saunders Smith, and as guest with various new music ensembles, including Ensemble Modern and Ensemble Intercontemporain. As soloist and first violinist of the Ukho Ensemble Kyiv (Ukraine) since 2016, she has given countless premieres of new works, many especially written for the ensemble. Passionate about collaboration between the arts, she has curated and taken part in a number of productions with visual artists and choreographers such as Rainer Ganahl and Massimo Gerardi, and a theatre production with actor/director Mehdi Dehbi.

On the front of musical education, she is co-founder and performer of the musical show “Tubalirum” for a young audience series in conjunction with the Barenboim-Said Academy at Boulez Saal, Berlin. Her musical education includes Bachelor's and Master's degrees from The Juilliard School of Music, New York, as a full scholarship student of Ronald Copes; two Artist Diplomas from the Conservatoire Supérieur National de Musique de Paris, one focusing on classical violin repertoire, the other specializing in contemporary music with scholarships from the Or du Rhin and Tarazzi Foundations. She has also benefited from a full scholarship to study with Igor Volochine at the Ecole Normale de Musique - Salle Cortot.

She can be heard as first violin soloist of the Ukho Ensemble on discs for Kairos, Winter & Winter, and EMI Vinci, in duo with pianist Orlando Bass for Triton, and most recently, on her debut solo album of unaccompanied violin works for Paladino Media - Orlando Records.
