MEMBER’S PRESENTATION: SVETLANA VASYLYEVA
Today we are happy to present our colleague Svetlana Vasylyeva from La Neuveville, Switzerland.
Since 2012, Svetlana has been the President and Artistic Director of the ArtDialog Verein. In this position, she has had the opportunity to cooperate with internationally recognized artists such as Natalia Gutman, Boris Berezovsky, Heinz Holliger, Nikolai Lugansky, Miklós Perényi, Mikhail Pletnev and Arcadi Volodos; she has also collaborated with organizations such as the Rostropovich Foundation and numerous Swiss foundations. She is also on the lookout for young talents and develops cultural projects for them in partnership with the Rachmaninoff Foundation at Villa Senar in Switzerland.
Svetlana is a professional violonist. She trained at the Special Music School and at the National Tchaikovsky Music Academy in Kyiv as well as at the European Mozart Academy for Chamber Music and at the Geneva University of Music (HEM). She also completed a course in Management of cultural projects in the frame of artos - Université de Lausanne.
As a musician, Svetlana has pursued her career in Ukraine with the Orchestra of the National Opera and the Kyiv Chamber Orchestra. In 2000, she moved with her family to Switzerland. Since then, she has worked with orchestras such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Orchester der Oper Zürich, the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, das Musikkollegium Winterthur and musicAeterna.
Svetlana is convinced that “only those can be called professionals who are passionately devoted to their work, constantly evolving and seeking perfection; however, they know that this path is endless.”
