Sergey Malov
violin
Sergey Malov from St. Petersburg is considered as versatile as he is virtuoso: he plays violin, viola, baroque violin and cello da spalla. His repertoire ranges from early Baroque music to Johann Sebastian Bach, from classical and romantic violin concertos to the world premieres of contemporary music. For his interpretations he deals intensively with questions of style and playing techniques of the respective epoch.
On the violin Sergey Malov won prizes at the Paganini Competition in Genoa, the Mozart Competition in Salzburg, the Heifetz Competition in Vilnius and the Michael Hill Competition in Auckland. With the viola he won prizes at the ARD Competition in Munich and at the Tokyo Viola Competition.
As a violin and viola soloist he has performed with orchestras such as the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Enesco Philharmonic Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Auckland Philharmonia and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. Invitations in past seasons have also taken him to the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he interpreted Sibelius's Violin Concerto on Sibelius's birthday under Klaus Mäkelä, to the Innsbruck Early Music Festival and on a Japan recital.
At the Leipzig Bach Competition, Sergey Malov was awarded the baroque violin. The "JumpstartJunior Foundation" Amsterdam provided him with a Gioffredo Cappa baroque violin. He has performed as a soloist with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, the Venice Baroque Orchestra, the Seville Baroque Orchestra, the "Musica Viva" Orchestra Moscow, the Camerata Salzburg and the Baroque Orchestra Halle.
Since September 2017, Sergey Malov has been appointed professor of violin at the Zurich University of Music.
