After training in his homeland, Oleksii Semenenko went on to further studies at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne under Zakhar Bron and Harald Schoneweg. Third Laureate of the Paganini Moscow International Competition in 2010, he went on to win the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York in 2012 and the International Boris Goldstein Competition in Berne in 2015. Oleksii Semenenko has performed at Merkin Hall (New York), Kennedy Center Hall (Washington), and the Gardner Museum (Boston) and will soon make his debut at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. He has played as a soloist with a number of ensembles, including the Moscow Virtuosi, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, and the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Spivakov. As a chamber musician, he founded the Stolyarsky Quartet, which has given concerts in Russia, Ukraine, France, Switzerland, and Malta.
