Experience the Art of Violin with Ksenia Dubrovskaya
As a passionate violinist, I bring the elegance and precision of classical music to life, creating unforgettable connections with my audience. My performances invite you to rediscover the timeless beauty and emotional depth of this extraordinary art form.
I’ve had the honor of performing worldwide with renowned artists, playing on a 1770 Giovanni Battista Gabrielli violin. As the artistic director of the Finca Festival in Gran Canaria, I curate unique musical experiences. My new album, Dubrovskaya Classics: Encores for Violin and Piano, showcases my most cherished encores. Join me on this musical journey—I can’t wait to share it with you.

The Story behind Encores
I was offered the opportunity to record an album and was given complete freedom with the choice of repertoire when on tour in Armenia, with my partner, pianist Sona Barseghyan, where we performed the entire cycle of 10 Beethoven sonatas.
Throughout these concerts, we and our audience were immersed in the world of deep and sizeable serious music, and as a result, at the end of the concert, the soul dictated something light and contrasting. Since we always wanted to play different pieces, we accumulated a lot of miniatures, which we decided to record as soon as we had the opportunity. So, this album is a collection of my favourite encores.
This is me ..
Ksenia Dubrovskaya is an exceptionally talented and charismatic violinist of the new generation with a huge repertoire ranging from Baroque to modern day. Renown for the elegance and precision in her playing, her performances resonate with a profound connection to the human experience. Through her interpretation, she invites listeners to rediscover the immense beauty and enduring relevance of classical music.
Born in Kolomna near Moscow into a family of musicians, Ksenia’s journey began with regional victories, culminating in triumph at the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians.
Her dedication led her to graduate with honours from the Moscow State Conservatory under the tutelage of Professor Irina Bochkova. Thereafter, she attained a Master of Music in Performing Arts degree from the Zurich High School of Music, studying with esteemed tutors, Professors Zakhar Bron and Marc Kissoszy. Ksenia’s passion for chamber music takes her across continents, performing alongside luminaries such as Yury Bashmet, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Liana Isakadze, Bruno Canino, Konstantin Lifschitz, Alexander Knyzev, Philippe Graffin, Dariusz Mikulski, and Derek Han.
As a soloist, she has commanded the attention of world-class orchestras, conducted by maestros such as Saulius Sondeckis, Justus Frantz, Shinik Hahm, Jacek Kaspszyk, and Helmut Müller-Brühl. Ksenia performs on a violin crafted in Florence by Giovanni Battista Gabrielli in 1770 – the instrument loaned out by the Reinhold Würth Musical Fund (Germany) to outstanding musicians.
With meticulous attention to detail, Ksenia is able to evoke the composers’ subtlest feelings and yet bring out her own reflections on the comedy of life. She is masterful in her portrayals of the delicate awe and precious fragility of humanity stood before the primordial forces of the universe; and yet that joy of being alive and able to experience its wonders.
On stage, her violin is not a third party, for she has the capacity to fuse so totally with her instrument that, as they rock and sway together, one is left unsure who is directing whom, creating a Holy Trinity of performer, violin, and composer, woven together to enthrall our senses. Since 2019, Ksenia has been the artistic director of the Finca Festival in Gran Canaria and has been heading the concert series Ksenia Dubrovskaya & Friends in Künzelsau, Germany. Ksenia is regularly invited to world-famous festivals such as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, MDR Musiksommer, Festival der Nationen Bad Wörishofen in Germany, Festival Internazionale Di Musica E Arte Sacra (Vatican), Alba Music Festival, Emilia Romagna Festival (Italy), Ost-West Musikfest and Mirabelle Schloss Festival in Austria, Rencontres Musicales Internationales d’Enghien in Belgium, Contest Festival Gyumri (Armenia), and Ars Longa Festival and Homecoming Festival in Moscow.
Apart from master classes, which Ksenia enthusiastically gives worldwide, she is on several jury boards of international music competitions.
