Alexander Markov, violin

Internationally celebrated violinist Alexander Markov has been hailed as one of the world's most captivating and versatile musicians. Whether performing as a soloist with prestigious orchestras at major concert halls around the world or playing at sports arenas in front of 25 000 people at the NBA game on his gold electric violin, Alexander Markov always makes an instant connection with his audiences. His recent highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall in New York followed by concerts in Europe, Mexico, South America, Japan, China, and the Middle East. His recent world premiere recording of the short pieces with orchestra by Henry Vieux-temps made it to the top 5 on NAXOS charts. In 2006, Warner released a DVD of the 24 Paganini Caprices and it is one of the best-selling classical DVDs on Amazon and currently has a combined views of over 20 million on YouTube. Markov's musical journey goes beyond his work as a classical violin soloist. He recently composed a crossover epic “Caesar” featuring a unique “gold” sixstring electric violin and accompanied by an orchestra, choir and group. The vision of the project is to expand the outreach to broader audiences and to bridge a gap between rock and classical audiences.
