Ukrainian-born violinist Diana Tishchenko is widely recognized for her radiant tone, expressive depth, and fearless curiosity that bridges musical eras. Her artistry spans from the refined clarity of Baroque interpretation to bold contemporary creations – many composers have written new works especially for her.

After winning the Grand Prix at the Long-Thibaud-Crespin International Competition in Paris, Diana quickly became one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation.
