Born into a family of musicians in Novosibirsk, Russia, Natalia Lomeiko has established herself internationally as a versatile performing artist.
Since her debut with the Novosibirsk Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of seven, Natalia has performed as a soloist with many orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Lord Menuhin, and she has collaborated with distinguished conductors including Vladimir Ashkenazy. Following her wins at “Premio Paganini” and Michael Hill International Violin Competitions, Natalia recorded with pianist Olga Sitkovetsky for Dynamic, Fone, Trust Records, and Atoll and with her husband violinist/violist Yuri Zhislin for Naxos.
Natalia has performed extensively as a soloist and chamber musician in such prestigious venues as the Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, the Kings Place, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Buckingham Palace, the Barbican and the Royal Festival Hall.
Natalia was appointed a Professor of Violin at the Royal College of Music in London in 2010.
Yuri Zhislin entered the Royal College of Music in London in 1991, where he studied with his father and later Dr Andrievsky, winning the title of the BBC Radio 2 Young Musician of the Year in 1993. He made his recital debut at the New York Carnegie Weill Hall in 2014 and has appeared at the major concert venues throughout Europe, the USA, South America, Australia and Japan.
In 2004 Yuri formed the Russian Virtuosi of Europe, an outstanding string ensemble. Yuri and Natalia work regularly with Camerata Tchaikovsky and the Rachmaninov Music Academy, which provide high quality tuition for children and students and opportunities for them to perform alongside professionals.
Currently Yuri Zhislin is Professor of both Violin and Viola at the Royal College and is in high demand as a visiting professor at the European Summer Academies.
Both Yuri and Natalia have performed before for TBS.
Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Iván Martín is currently recognized by critics and audiences as one of the most brilliant musicians of his generation both as a pianist and a conductor.

He is the founder and musical director of “Galdós Ensemble,” a new and versatile orchestral group aimed at exploring Baroque and Classical repertoire as well as modern and contemporary music.
Recent recordings include an album dedicated to Schubert, and one of Brahms, and Bruch with Natalia Lomeiko and Yuri Zhislin for the Orchid Classics, which received five stars in the prestigious BBC Magazine.
