SERGEJ KRYLOV
VIOLINIST & CONDUCTOR
ENGLISH BIOGRAPHY

His international collaborations include the London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic and Filarmonica della Scala, and conductors including Marin Alsop, Fabio Luisi and Mikhail Pletnev. He also performs chamber music and solo programmes devoted to Bach, Ysaÿe and Paganini.

Sergej Krylov’s life on stage moves between solo performance, chamber music and conducting. His repertoire reaches from the Italian Baroque to the music of our time.

Artistic director of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra since 2008, he brings the perspective of a violinist to the podium — and the imagination of a conductor to the violin.

Artist in Residence at the Stradivari Festival in Cremona, Krylov returns each year to the stage of the Museo del Violino.

Since 2012 he has taught violin at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana in Lugano. His recordings include releases for Deutsche Grammophon, Sony Classical and DUX.

Sergej Krylov plays the Stradivarius “Camposelice” (1710), on generous loan from the Sasakawa Music Foundation (formerly Nippon Music Foundation).
