Violinist with a global stage presence

Coming from a violin-making family with roots dating back to the 19th century, Yury began studying the violin at the age of five and made his Carnegie Hall debut at 18 alongside Daniil Trifonov. He later performed Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto at La Scala and has appeared as a soloist with orchestras such as LaVerdi Milano, the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Zagreb Soloists..

einer seit dem 19. Jahrhundert bestehenden Geigenfamilie stammend, begann Yury im Alter von fünf Jahren mit dem Geigenunterricht und debütierte mit 18 in der Carnegie Hall an der Seite von Daniil Trifonov. Später spielte er Tschaikowskys Violinkonzert an der Scala und trat als Solist mit Orchestern wie La Verdi Milano, Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra und den Zagreb Soloists auf.

Er arbeitete mit renommierten Dirigenten wie:
Mikhail Pletnev, Liana Isakadze, Lionel Cottet, Duncan Ward, Johannes Schlaefli, Sebastian Weigle, Stanislav Kochanovsky und Zhang Xian.



Composer of classical, cinematic, and experimental works

Yury also distinguishes himself as a composer. His music spans classical and neoclassical styles as well as cinematic and electronic genres. He wrote his first compositions as a child (cadenzas), and today he creates large-scale works, including:

  • Symphony No. 1 “Kaleidoscope”, world premiere in London (2023)
  • Violin Concerto “Awakening”, world premiere in Salzburg (2022)
  • EP “OLARIO”, world premiere at Salle Pleyel, Paris (2024)
  • “UNITY” at the Vienna Musikverein (Golden Hall) – a work for choir, piano trio, and solo violin (2023)
  • World Expo Dubai – Main Stage, composer/director (2021)
  • Works for the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and the Munich Symphony Orchestra
  • Commissioned works for the Liszt Festival, Grafenegg, and UN Earth Day

     

His music is regularly featured in international films, art festivals, and on streaming platforms. In 2021, he co-wrote a piece with Michael Schulte and YouNotUs (Top 20 in the German charts).

Yury’s recordings have been heard in Netflix’s “Bridgerton”, projects by the UN Environment Programme, UNICEF, and various soundtracks. He has composed film scores for Oscar nominee Oren Moverman, Colin Vaines, and Quentin Delcourt.



Interdisciplinary Collaborations

Yury’s artistic curiosity leads him into cross-genre projects. His collaborators include:

Classical & Neoclassical: Martha Argerich, Daniil Trifonov, Andrea Bocelli, Paul Badura-Skoda, Sumi Jo, Steven Isserlis, Ramon Vargas, among others.

Contemporary: William Orbit, Toby Gad, Pixie Lott, Azekel, YouNotUs, Michael Schulte, Gabriel Prokofiev



Festival Nights & Multidisciplinary Vision 

In 2015, Yury founded Festival Nights, a pioneering multidisciplinary cultural platform that connects music with visual arts, dance, theatre, technology, and immersive experiences. Originally launched in Vienna, it has since evolved into an international format known for artistic experimentation and social engagement.

Recent highlights:

  • Art Basel Paris+ (2023): Curated immersive concerts combining digital painting (including AI technology), dance, and music.

  • Commissioned work for Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (2025): A multidisciplinary performance featuring acoustic instruments, electronics, and reactive elements.

  • Bergson Kunstkraftwerk Munich (2025), supported by Wolfgang Titze: Development of a new immersive production with original music and a multimedia experience.

Festival Nights is committed to humanitarian causes – particularly environmental issues, children in need, and autism – such as in cooperation with UNICEF Austria (the “Dreamland” series).

Yury also served as a composer for the RESISTRUMENTS project (a collaboration with ArtHelps, awarded a Webby Award). In addition, he has contributed to initiatives promoting peace and European values, including the Oslo Freedom Forum and EuropaNova.



Media & Recognition

Yury Revich’s work has been featured by Vogue, Forbes, The Times, ORF, ZDF, Puls4, DIE ZEIT Magazin, among others. From 2016 to 2022, he performed on a 1709 Stradivari; he currently plays a custom-made violin by Alain Carbonare.

He studied with his father, Alexander Revich, Galina Turchaninova, and Viktor Pikayzen, and at the Vienna Conservatory (MUK) with Pavel Vernikov.
