About Yuliya

Violinist
London

From a young age, Ukrainian violinist Yuliya Ostapchuk was awarded prizes at several international competitions and participated in masterclasses with violinists such as Igor Ozim, Mi-Kyung Lee, Maxim Vengerov as well as Keshet Eilon International Summercourse. In 2011, Yuliya moved to London to study at the Purcell School of Music and has since performed recitals at Milton Court and Wigmore Hall as well as concerti across Europe. Yuliya won the Arthur Felsenstein Leaver’s award before joining The Royal Academy of Music in 2017, graduating with First-Class Honours as well as a Licenciate Diploma in teaching. Later in 2021, Ostapchuk went onto her Master’s degree at The Royal College of Music, studying with Itzhak Rashkovsky. During her studies, Yuliya has worked with esteemed conductors, to name a few - Semyon Bychkov, Vasily Petrenko, Charles Dutoit and Marin Alsop. Most recently, Yuliya performed Beethoven Symphony No. 9 memorised as part of Aurora Orchestra at The Royal Albert Hall BBC Prom 2024 and joined them for the UK/Switzerland tour of Stravinsky’s Firebird memorised. Ostapchuk is currently on trial with BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. As an active orchestral player, Yuliya plays with orchestras such as Aurora Orchestra, Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and has performed internationally in venues including Berlin Konzerthaus, Tonhalle Zurich, Paris Theatre Du Chatelet and Dubai Opera. In 2023, Ostapchuk was selected as Glyndebourneʼs Jerwood ‘Pit Perfect’ recipient to join the company for autumn season. Later on in 2024, Ostapchuk was selected for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Career Accelerator Scheme. Yuliya is also an Associate Fellow of The Alpine Fellowship and a 2022 Benedetti Foundation Ambassador. Yuliya is very grateful to the Harrison Frank Family Foundation for loaning her the Santagiuliana 1790 violin that she is very honoured to be performing with.

Yuliya's Reviews

Her performance of Mozart and Prokofiev impressed both the preliminary panel and the second jury, who awarded her a scholarship of £4000 for each of the four years of the Bachelor programme at the Academy. Awards at the Academy are hotly contended by violinists of outstanding calibre. This result is a strong indication of our belief in Yuliya's talent and potential, and confidence in the likelihood of her reaching a very advanced level, with a high-profile professional performing career within her scope.

Yuliya is a highly talented and able violinist who demonstrates in her playing a very individual musical personality and vibrant energy. Yuliya is a natural performer who has the ability to engage with an audience through her thoughtful and creative interpretation which has been shown in many performances including solo work with symphony orchestra.
