Edward

Edward, a passionate violin virtuoso from Ukraine, embarked on his musical journey at the young age of 5. Recognizing his perfect pitch, his mother, an amateur musician, provided him with his first musical lessons. By the age of 6, Edward had already composed his first composition, a Waltz for Piano and Orchestra in C minor.

Throughout his education, Edward actively participated in composition and honed his skills in playing the violin and piano. After completing college, he successfully gained admission to the Institute of Music by R. Glier, where he further developed his violin and composition abilities. Graduating with a master’s degree, Edward went on to work in esteemed orchestras in Ukraine’s capital.

Driven by his love for music and the sea, Edward embarked on a career as a violinist on a cruise ship, performing with his piano trio. It was during this time that he realized his true calling, finding joy in sharing his art with audiences. However, the pandemic disrupted his journey, grounding him ashore for nearly two years. Undeterred, Edward continued his work as a composer and arranger, contributing remarkable pieces to the world’s music library.

Simultaneously, Edward established his own band, the Joker Trio, featuring an electric violin ensemble. With this group, he successfully toured Ukraine, captivating audiences with their performances. As humanity begins to prevail in the battle against the pandemic, Edward is delighted to return to the seas and once again bring his creativity to enrich the onboard experience.
