Gabriel Tchalik

Gabriel Tchalik was born into a Franco-Russian family, these two cultures affecting both his personality and technique. Highly influenced by the Russian school, he began his music studies, with the Russian pianist Igor Lazko and Russian violonist Elina Kuperman. He later on spent many years studying with Alexandre Brussilovsky. In keeping with the tradition of the Russian violin school, he achieved technical rigour and rigour of interpretation. Gabriel Tchalik left the music school of Versailles in 2007 with a double diploma. He then decided to continue his education with Alexandre Brussilovsky. Instead of entering a graduate music school, he decided to continue to explore music on his own, thus enabling him to build up a vast and personal musical repertoire. This did not however prevent him from extending his musical references, by following the advice of Christian Tetzlaff, Viktor Pikayzen, Maurizio Fuks, Zhu Xiao Mei, Valery Sigalevitch... His impressive technical and musical qualities have been acknowledged at numerous international competitions. He won  first prize at the Islam Petrella Competition in Albania, first prize at the first Yuri Yankelevitch International Competition in 2009... Among other aspects of his unusual career, Gabriel was able to study philosophy at La Sorbonne University (Master?s degree). Throughout his career, he has varied his repertoire not only by playing classical violin concertos (performed with such conductors as Jacques Mercier, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Dmitri Vassiliev...), but also original contemporary and chamber music pieces. Over the years he has had the chance to play in duets with his pianist brother, and recently he founded the Tchalik Quintet with his other brothers and sisters. He has been playing a Philippe Miteran violin with a Konstantin Cheptitski bow for the past six years.<a href="http://www.gabrieltchalik.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); text-decoration: none; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">www.gabrieltchalik.com</a>
