Sitkovetsky @ UNCG

Distinguished Visiting Artist, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, is one of a rare breed of artist whose career successfully manifests itself in many artistic fields. As a violinist, he has worked with the very best orchestras in the world - the Berlin Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, London Symphony, Philharmonia, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York Philharmonic and Cleveland orchestras. He has also performed at the Salzburg Festival and at the Lucerne, Edinburgh, Verbier, Istanbul and Georges Enescu festivals, as well as being a founding artist of the Tuscan Sun Festival since 2003.

Since 2003, he has been the Music Director of the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra (GSO). Previously, he was the Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Ulster Orchestra and has worked with London Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle and Milwaukee symphonies, Santa Cecilia & Ensemble Orchestral de Paris. Dima has an active and varied recording career with an extensive discography which includes all the major violin concerti, numerous chamber music works, as well as orchestral recordings as conductor.

Dmitry Sitkovetsky was born in Baku/Azerbaijan, but grew up in Moscow where he studied at the Moscow Conservatory and, after his emigration in 1977, at the Juilliard School in New York. Since 1987, he has been living in London with his wife, Susan, and their daughter, Julia.

UNCG would like to acknowledge its appreciation to the Greensboro Symphony for making this collaboration possible.
