Ukrainian violinist Diana Tishchenko is proving herself to be one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent years. Past and upcoming engagements include appearances with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Hamburger Symphoniker, Munich Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre National d’Ile de France, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Orchestre National des Pays de Loire, Baden-Baden Philharmonic, and Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra, working with conductors such as Lahav Shani, Joshua Weilerstein, Yaron Traub, Ion Marin, and Christian Ehwald.

On hearing her debut concert with the DSO Berlin at the Berlin Philharmonie under Joshua Weilerstein, German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel gave her a glowing review, writing:
“[Tishchenko] compels the listener even in the first measures of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1… With a tone of incessant, nuance-rich intensity, she opens our eyes to the inner drama of this piece [...] Simply genius!”
2018 was a momentous year for her containing several highlights. In November 2018 she was awarded the Grand Prix Jacques Thibaud at the legendary Long-Thibaud-Crespin International Competition in Paris by jury chair Renaud Capuçon, receiving as part of the prize the loan of a 1754 violin by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini from the Anima Music Foundation, and a major label recording with Warner Classics & Erato due for release in autumn 2019. In July 2018 Diana was invited to the Verbier Festival Academy, where she performed Mozart Violin Concerto No.3 with the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, and received lessons and masterclasses from Gábor Takács-Nagy, Mihaela Martin, András Keller and Pinchas Zuckerman. In May 2018 she was selected to participate in "Chamber Music Connects the World", the renowned biennial celebration at the Kronberg Academy, performing chamber music with artists such as Gidon Kremer, Steven Isserlis and Christian Tetzlaff.
Born in the Crimea, Ukraine in 1990, Diana Tishchenko began to play the violin at the age of six, eventually studying with Tamara Mukhina at the Lysenko Special Music School, Kiev, and with Professor Ulf Wallin at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, Berlin. At 18 she became a member – and later the youngest ever concertmaster – of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. Further musical inspiration during her years of study was provided by Boris Kuschnir, Ferenc Rados, Rita Wagner, Saschko Gawriloff, Steven Isserlis and Sir András Schiff.
