BRUSSILOVSKY

Born in Ukraine, Alexander Brusilovsky studied music at the Moscow Conservatory with the Masters Yuri Yankelevich, Maya Glezarova and Felix Andrievsky. He won major international prizes, that of the Prague International Competition in 1969 and the Grand Prix and the Albert Roussel Special Prize of the Jacques Thibaud Competition in Paris in 1975. Nevertheless, he continued his higher education at the Moscow Conservatory in the class of Leonid Kogan until 1979.

After being banned from concerts abroad for many years, he left the USSR and moved to France in 1985. He recreated his career, sharing his activity between concert halls and teaching, while realizing his dream of creating his own ensemble, the Ensemble Ricercata in Paris and the Ensemble Nouvelle Scène. 

Alexandre Brusilovsky plays in the most prestigious venues (Carnegie Hall in New York, Salle Pleyel and Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, Bolchoi Zal of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, South Bank Center in London...) with great artists such as Lord Yehudi Menuhin, Emmanel Krivine, Misha Maisky, Gary Hoffman, Edward Brunner, Kun Wo Paik, Pierre-Aim 

In addition to his activities as an international soloist, Alexandre Brusilovsky is invited by the Yehudi Menuhin School (England), the Bloomington School of Music (Indiana University) and Longy School of Music (Boston) to give masterclasses. He participates in several summer academies including Geneva, Arcs, Nice, New York and Prades (Pablo Casals Festival). Since October 2000 he has been invited by the chamber orchestra DEL ARTE (Neuburg, Germany) as its principal conductor.
