Cellist Yegor Dyachkov is widely admired for his compelling stage presence, interpretive depth, and generosity of musical expression. Since being named Artist of the Year by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 2000, Dyachkov has performed extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, Canada, and the United States, making his New York debut at Lincoln Center that same year.
He has appeared as soloist with major orchestras in cities including Antwerp, Geneva, Montréal, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Vancouver, and has been featured at leading international festivals such as Évian, Kronberg, Lanaudière, Ottawa, and Tanglewood. A committed advocate for contemporary music, Dyachkov was invited by Yo-Yo Ma to participate in the Silk Road Project and has premiered numerous works written for him, including pieces by Jacques Hétu, Michael Oesterle, Ana Sokolović, and André Prévost.
Dyachkov’s extensive discography includes recordings for Chandos, Analekta, and ATMA. In addition to his performing career, he is a dedicated educator, teaching at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University and serving as Head of the String Faculty at the Université de Montréal.
