Boriso-Glebsky

Nikita Boriso-Glebsky's career was launched in 2007 when he won the II prize and five special prizes in the XIII International Tchaikovsky Competition.

His victory at the Sibelius Competition in Helsinki in 2010 became significant for the violinist. Since then, he has become a welcome guest in Finland – he regularly performs with all the major orchestras: Finnish Radio Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and Kuopio City Orchestra.

In 2010, Nikita became the I prize laureate of the Fritz Kreisler International Competition in Vienna. In recent years he has performed at Wiener Konzerthaus with Nikolai Lugansky, Narek Hakhnazaryan and Maxim Rysanov that was highly acclaimed and since the season 22/23 he has become a resident of the Wiener Konzerthaus presenting a chamber music subscription in a trio with Narek Hakhnazaryan and Georgy Tchaidze. He performs regularly in Graz and Linz as well.

The victories in the international competitions in Monaco, Brussels and Montreal opened additional opportunities for Nikita such as invitations to the best concert halls of the world and performances with the leading orchestras. The violinist collaborates with Sakari Oramo, Vasily Sinaisky, Dima Slobodeniouk, Stanislav Kochanovsky, Klaus Mäkelä, Mao Fujita and others.

The past two years was also remarkable for its recording activity: three of Nikita’s albums were released within the season — Carnet de voyages with pianist Georgy Tchaidze, Mozart: Divertimento, K.563 with Maxim Rysanov and Dora Kokas, and Miklós Rózsa: Sinfonia concertante with Harriet Krijgh and Deutsche Staatphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz under the baton of Gregor Bühl — all of which received high critical acclaim.

Nikita Boriso-Glebsky’s repertoire encompasses 228 works, spanning a vast range of compositions for violin and symphony orchestra, violin and chamber orchestra, as well as violin and piano. From timeless masterpieces by Beethoven, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky to contemporary works by Schnittke, Bodrov, and Zinovjev, his programming reflects both a deep respect for tradition and a passion for musical innovation. With a keen interest in diverse styles and eras, Nikita continues to expand his repertoire, offering audiences not only beloved classics but also rarely performed gems.

He plays the violin created by the Austrian master Martin Schwalb in 2024.

Nikita Boriso-Glebsky was born in 1985 in Volgodonsk. He graduated from the Moscow State Conservatory and got the doctoral degree (class of Professor Eduard Grach and Associate Professor Tatiana Berkul), then he was improving his skills under the guidance of Augustin Dumay in Brussels and Anna Chumachenko in Kronberg.

Over the past two seasons, Nikita Boriso-Glebsky’s career has taken a new turn, marked by numerous important debuts. He appeared for the first time on the stages of Carnegie Hall and the Fisher Center, Suntory hall and Seoul Arts Center, performed with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, Wiener Kammerorchester, Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra, Orquestra Sinfónica de Tenerife, and Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

In the 2025/2026 season, Nikita will continue collaborations with orchestras with which he has already established long-term artistic relationships, such as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, which has commissioned a new violin concerto from composer Sauli Zinovjev especially for him. This premiere will take place under the baton of conductor Elim Chan. The season will also bring new debuts, including performances with the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Portugal, discovering the new stages during his solo recital tour in Japan.

In 2019, Nikita was the first to record the previously unknown concert by Eugène Ysaÿe together with the Liege Philharmonic Orchestra and Jean-Jacques Kantorov.
