OLARIO is the new neoclassical and electronic project by internationally award-winning Austrian violinist and composer Yury Revich.
The Story
Yury comes from a family of four generations of violinists dating back to the 19th century and has enjoyed a successful international career as a soloist, performing at venues including Carnegie Hall and La Scala in Milan.
Even as a child, he felt the urge to compose his own music. He took his first steps by writing his own cadenzas for the violin concertos he performed on stage.
However, he often felt constrained by tradition and unable to express himself fully. The global pandemic gave Yury the time and inspiration to explore his artistic freedom.
With his new project OLARIO, he pushes creative boundaries as a multi-instrumentalist and experiments with diverse sound waves. He composes, records, and produces distinctive music that blends the warmth of acoustic instruments with electronic sound worlds.
Neoclassical and Alternative Genres
Alongside his work in alternative genres, in 2021 he co-wrote the hit ByeByeBye with Michael Schulte, which reached the Top 20 of the official German charts. He has also collaborated with artists such as Gabriel Prokofiev, Pixie Lott, Azekel, and others.
New Neoclassical EP “OLARIO”
The EP features four new compositions – Violet, Flying Clouds, Morning Shine, and Clocks – as well as additional new releases, available on all streaming platforms axnd via this link:
