PIANIST
ARTEM YASYNSKYY

Artem Yasynskyy was born into a family of musicians in Ukraine. He is the recipient of the second prize and five additional prizes at the Sydney International Piano Competition, as well as the gold medal and audience prize at the Cincinnati World Piano Competition in Ohio, USA. He has also been a laureate at the Honens Piano Competition in Calgary, Canada; the Top of the World Competition in Tromsø, Norway; the Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition in Salt Lake City, Utah; the Leschetizky International Piano Competition in Hamburg; the Sendai International Music Competition in Japan; and the Gian Battista Viotti International Piano Competition in Vercelli, Italy.

Since 2015 he has held a teaching position in the main subject of piano at the University of the Arts Bremen. In 2019, he was appointed as a lecturer, and in 2021, he served as a substitute professor for the main subject of piano there. From 2022 to 2024, he held a professorship in piano at the Conservatorio Tartini in Trieste, Italy.
Numerous concert appearances have taken him across Europe, South Korea, Japan, Russia, the USA, Canada, and Australia, participating in festivals such as the Salzburger Festspiele, “Rarities of Piano Music” Husum, the Bremen Music Festival, the Bard Music Festival New York, the MozArt Festival Lviv, the Daejeon Chamber Music Festival, the Festival of Polish Music Kraków, the Chopin Festival Hamburg, the Honens Festival Calgary, Canada, the Paderewski Festival Raleigh, USA, and the Gina Bachauer Artist Series Salt Lake City, USA.
Performances with orchestras such as the Utah Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Ukraine, the Kyiv Philharmonic Orchestra, the Donetsk State Orchestra, the Kharkiv Philharmonic Orchestra, the Carlo Coccia Symphony Orchestra, the Mriya Excil Orchestra, the Sinfonietta Cracovia, the Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra, the Koszalin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Karelia Philharmonic Orchestra have provided him the opportunity to perform many significant works of European piano concerto literature.
In chamber music, Artem Yasynskyy collaborates with ensembles and artists such as the Lyatoshynsky Trio, cellist Maddalena Del Gobbo, violinist Stefan Latzko, violinist Professor Katrin Scholz, cellist Professor Gabriel Schwabe, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
He has given solo recitals at venues including Carnegie Hall in New York and has performed in Germany at locations such as the Sendesaal Bremen, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Bremen Theater, and the Hamburg Laeiszhalle. Broadcasts of his live performances have been aired by Radio Bremen, Deutschlandradio Kultur, NDR 3, WDR 3 (Germany), Radio Bartók (Hungary), CBC Radio (Canada), and BYU Radio (Utah, USA) and others.
He completed his piano studies with distinction at the Prokofiev State Music Academy in Donetsk under Albina Orischuk achieving numerous competition successes during this period. Since 2010, he has resided in Germany, where he pursued postgraduate and master’s studies at the University of the Arts Bremen under Professor Patrick O’Byrne, completing both with distinction, including his concert exam.
His studies in composition have inspired his focus on improvisation, which is a central aspect of his musical endeavors. Yasynskyy performs improvisational evenings and interacts with the audience during his solo concerts. His innovative program designs are also reflected in interdisciplinary collaborations. For example, he performs with painters who create artworks in real-time to his music, or with visual artists who accompany his music with live digital impressions.
Yasynskyy has conducted masterclasses worldwide, including at the University of Utah, the National Music Academy of Ukraine, the Pai-Chai University in Daejeon, South Korea, the University of Debrecen, Hungary, the Conservatorio di Lecce, Italy, and the Vere Music Academy in Kyiv.
In May 2015, his first CD was released by the Grand Piano label (Naxos), featuring works by Polish piano master Józef Hofmann, which received enthusiastic reviews from publications such as Gramophone, the American Record Guide, the Fanfare, the French magazine Diapason, and Radio Bremen. An intensive engagement with pre-piano techniques of harpsichordists led to a second CD featuring 18 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, released in January 2018 by Naxos, which was again celebrated with excellent reviews. With cellist Maddalena del Gobbo a third CD was released in July 2025 by Supreme Classics, recorded in November 2024 at the Konzerthaus Vienna.
Two more CDs featuring Artem Yasynskyy are scheduled for release in 2025: works by Valentin Silvestrov with the Mriya Excil Orchestra, recorded in September 2024 at the Sendesaal Bremen, and works by Gabriel Prokofiev and Ukrainian music with his Lyatoshynsky Trio.
