Yaroslav Oliinyk, the virtuoso pianist, has conquered over 10 countries with his remarkable performances in international competitions and delivered numerous solo concerts across Europe and Ukraine. Alex Smirnov, the astonishing multi-instrumentalist, wows audiences with his mastery of the saxophone, flute, and other wind instruments, having toured more than 30 countries with his enthralling concerts. United as a duo, they aim to bring even more astonishment and the gift of their music to the world. The uniqueness of The Royal Rhapsody lies in their ability to seamlessly blend and excel in any style and genre, captivating audiences with their musical versatility. Their performances are a breathtaking display of creativity, as they effortlessly craft new compositions in real-time, mesmerizing spectators. Whether it’s a soulful jazz ballad, a high-energy rock anthem, or a classical symphony, Yaroslav’s virtuosity on the piano and Alex’s mastery of multiple wind instruments create an enchanting harmony that defies conventional boundaries.

Smirnov band were full of energy and personality, and created such a fun, party atmosphere on our exhibition stand. Alex Sax is a larger-than-life character who got the guest involved with hot songs as well as playing some incredible sax solos that everyone loved. We would definitely book them again!
