Acoustic and Electric Violinist
Thank you for visiting my website and considering having me or my team at your wedding! I am currently booking for dates in 2021 and 2022!
I specialize in Weddings! Based in Washington/Oregon, and I am a full-time professional violinist and violist at Lower Columbia College and my Lockyear Music Studio. I travel throughout the WA and OR areas, and a Since 2001, I have performed at several hundred weddings in Europe and USA. Some of those destinations include Poland, Germany, Italy, Canada, USA, Russia and Ukraine (my hometown). Before moving to the USA, I worked as a professional musician for Holland America Line and Princess Cruises. I hold a Master's Degree in Music Performance from Southern Louisiana University, LA, and is the 1st prize winner of the 21st Century International Music Competition from Europe. If you are interested in an ensemble I can provide an ensemble with any instruments you desire.
Music is my passion. I would love to hear more about your needs and make your wedding spectacular!
Congratulations on your engagement!

Testimonials
First thing I remember from my wedding day; doors open to the chapel when I see my bride and hear beautiful violin music as she walks down the aisle. I will not admit to crying but Yuliya has the ability of make you feel things ten times with her music and talent. She becomes a puzzle piece to your wedding day that you get to relive over and over again in your memory.

She has true passion for music and it translates in her performances as well as teaching techniques. Her love for music is contagious, if you get a chance to learn from her or hear her perform it is truly an amazing experience.

Daigoro & Laura
Yuliya provided a solo electric violin performance for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful. Yuliya replied to my many messages quickly. She was flexible, professional and made every effort to personalize the performance. At first, I was concerned about booking with someone you haven’t met in person. But Yuliya called shortly after I sent her a request. She answered every email I sent. She showed up on time and played exactly as agreed upon. I would not hesitate to book with her again.
