Tatiana Chulochnikova

Violinist Tatiana Chulochnikova has been praised by the press for her “fine performances” (The Washington Post), “dark plush romantic violin sound' (New York Concert Review) and “thrilling technique and bravura style” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Ms. Chulochnikova began playing violin at the age of seven and made her professional debut at fourteen performing Bruch’s violin concerto with the Kharkiv Philharmonic. She received her professional training at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow as well as Oberlin Conservatory and The Juilliard School.

In recent seasons Ms. Chulochnikova appeared as a soloist with orchestra, recitalist and concertmaster with leading early music ensembles throughout the United States, Europe and Russia. Highlights include appearances as soloist in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Philip Glass’s Violin Concerto No. 2 “The American Four Seasons”; her solo debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, chamber debut at Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, as well as solo and duo recitals in Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis and New York City. Ms. Chulochnikova’s performances and interviews have been broadcast by classical radio stations nationwide including WETA, KALV and WFMT.

In 2016 Ms. Chulochnikova’s first commercial CD recording was released worldwide on Toccata Classics. A world premiere of violin music by composer Theodore Akimenko, the album earned very enthusiastic reviews including Fanfare Magazine (US) which called it “a fascinating release” and Classica Magazine (France) which described the interpretation as demonstrating a “total commitment and a free lyricism that goes straight to the heart”.
