Violinist Dina Nesterenko possesses an astounding virtuosity and beauty of tone that captivates all who hear her. She grew up in Siberia, Russia and burst on the international scene as a semi-finalist in the renown Tchaikovsky Violin Competition as its youngest participant in 1998. She then emigrated to the US, earning bachelor and master’s degrees from Juilliard, and a doctorate from Stony Brook University. Her passion is creating her own unique virtuoso arrangements of famous classical works for solo violin, such as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and the Moonlight Sonata.
Pianist Misha Berestnev has been described as having “...flawless technique and constant inspiration...” (Belgian La Libre Magazine) and “... an astonishingly gifted pianist...equally at home as a soloist and chamber musician” (Theater Jones, U.S.). He has been featured as a soloist with the Sydney Symphony, Brazilian Symphony, Royal Chamber Orchestra of Wallonia, Fort Worth Symphony, and San Angelo Symphony, among others. Since making his home in North Texas, he has become a frequent recital collaborator with many of the Dallas Symphony principal musicians.
