Description

Classy, reliable violin solo player (or playing in a dynamic duo – with piano, keyboard or accordion player, both – Moscow Conservatory graduates) for corporate and private parties, weddings, and romantic occasions, Maestro Igor Antipov is a fantastic, thrilling performer playing different music genres - from classical to popular to jazz and country - with perfect technique and passion.

I. Antipov's colleagues are fine, high caliber full-time professional musicians fluent in music, from Bach and Mozart to Chopin, from the Beatles and Duke Ellington to Broadway musicals and more!
Maestro Antipov played as a soloist and as a member of string groups with the "Russian Camerata" and Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, having performed in the famed Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and in the Moscow Conservatory, participated in multiple prestigious European competitions of violinists and very prestigious international Music Festivals (German and Austrian Mozart festivals etc.)

Antipov's professional credits spans over 35 years, having performed in Russia and Poland, Ukraine and Israel, Moldova and Hungary, Armenia and all the Baltic states to name a few, and many major halls in the US including great cities and suburban towns.

Your special event will turn into an unforgettable action, feeling together with Igor
(and his duo partner, if playing together) and basking in charming sounds of his music.
His technical and sound equipment makes him second to none financially, because he just himself can play live solo, duo or as a one-man orchestra, and all at the price of one.
Nobody can beat it!

  • Igor was quite charming and a fine addition to our church spaghetti dinner. He added the liveliness of his music to the affair which is a special kind of richness to an event like this. The gathering was for 350 people of all ages. In such an event, music fills in the spaces and completes the picture of community. I would definitely recommend Mr. Antipov, and certainly ask him to perform in the future. Thanks for the introduction! -- Thomas V, Chicago, IL, 1/7/2012
  • Igor, was better than I could have imagined. Top Notch. Would use him again. -- John K, Bensenville, IL, 2/19/2012
  • Igor was very professional yet personable, a pleasure to work with. I was the planner for this event and got lots of good feedback from the attendees. He has a sense of what music to play when, in terms of the flow of the evening. He was sensitive to concerns such as where he should optimally be placed in the room and of volume. I would definitely hire him again for such an event and have already recommended him to a friend. He contributed to a very nice evening. -- Laurie G, Chicago, IL, 3/9/2012
