Tatiana Samouil, Belgian by adoption and Russian-Moldovan by origin, leads a versatile career: she performs as a soloist with the most prestigious orchestras, participates in festivals as a chamber musician worldwide, and is a renowned teacher.
Born in St. Petersburg, Tatiana studied in Moldova and then continued in Moscow. After obtaining her Soloist Diploma with Honors from the Moscow Conservatory, under the guidance of Professor Maja Glezarova, she met the legendary violinist Igor Oistrakh and decided to become his student at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels.
A prize winner of seven of the most famous international competitions (such as the Queen Elisabeth, Tchaikovsky, and Sibelius competitions), she serves as a member of the jury for the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, the Eugène Ysaÿe Competition in Liège, and various solo violin competitions in Korea, to name a few.
Having recorded more than 20 CDs for labels such as “Sony Classical,” “Onyx,” “Cypres,” and “Indesens,” Tatiana has received numerous awards, including the “Diapason d'Or,” “Choc de Classica,” Prix Caecilia, and Jocker of Crescendo, among others.
Her latest releases include Rachmaninov's complete chamber music with Andrey Korobeinikov and Pavel Gomziakov, and “Il Mondo Felice” with her sister Anna Samuil, the Orchestre Royal de Mons, and Vahan Mardirossian.
This season, Tatiana will perform in Paris, Berlin, Belo Horizonte, Bucharest, Madrid, Hong Kong, and more.
