Artists' bio
Yuri Mazurkevich & Dana
Pomerants-Mazurkevich
The Mazurkevich Violin Duo combines
the virtuoso playing of Yuri Mazurkevich, and the inspired and spirited
energy of his wife and aritist partner, Dana
Pomerants-Muzurkevich. The Mazurkeviches represent the
versatility and techical perfection of the Russian School of violin.
Proteges of the legendary violinist David Oistrakh, the Mazurkeviches
graduated from the prestigious Moscow Conservatory. Immediately
following their graduation, they were both invited to teach at the Kiev
Conservatory. While performing and teaching in the former Soviet
Union, Dana won prizes in the J.S. Bach International Competition and
the George Enesco Violin Competition. Yuri received his laureate
diploma in Helsinki, Munich and Montreal.
The Mazurkeviches emigrated to Canada in 1975, where they joined the
music faculty at the University of Western Ontario. In 1985, they
moved to Boston where Yuri was appointed Professor of Violin at Boston
University and was chairman of the String Department from
1986-1995. Dana has been a Professor of Violin at Boston
University and the Longy School of Music since 1986.
Each artist is an acclaimed soloist and their combined talents make
them an outstanding performing duo. They have received accolades
in Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Pacific Asia.
The duo's summer teaching and performing activities have included
Tanglewood, the Victoria International Festival, Johannesen
International School of the Arts, Banff Center for the Arts, and
various European festivals.
The Mazurkevich Violin Duo has performed on radio and television
programs in both hemispheres, including BBC, CBC, ABC(Australia), Radio
France, Radio Moscow, Sender Freies Berlin, and many others. Both
artists have recorded on several labels, including Melodya, Masters of
the Bow, and SNE.
