Violinist Yuri Beliavsky and pianist Daniel Beliavsky perform Mozart's Adagio K. 261 at the Donnell Library Center, November 2006. Artofviolin.com.

Yuri Beliavsky was born in Moscow, USSR in 1932. He studied violin with Professor Abraham Yampolsky and chamber music with the great Russian pianist Maria Yudina at the Gnesin State Music Institute in Moscow. Beliavsky has been a member of the Grand Symphony Orchestra of Soviet Radio and Television, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and has taught at Jerusalem's Rubin Academy, and performed as soloist with both the Moscow Radio and the Israeli Radio. Between 1972 and 1974, he made several recordings with the Jerusalem Symphony, among them Mozart's Concerto No.3 in G-Major, K. 216, Bartok's Violin Concerto No.1, and Bruch's Kol Nidre, which was recorded just before the Yom Kippur War, during which Yuri served in the Israeli Army.

Since 1975, Yuri has been with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and has been on the
teaching faculty of the Music Institute of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he has often appeared in recitals with his son, pianist Daniel Beliavsky. In 1983, Beliavsky recorded Lou Harrison's Concerto for Violin and Percussion Orchestra with the XX-Century Ensemble.

In 1986-87, Beliavsky created a series of special programs for WFMR, the Classical Radio Station in Milwaukee, called "An Historical Perspective on the Art of Violin Playing since the Beginning of the Recording Era." These 33 programs were broadcast during the 1986 and 1987 seasons during prime time and were very well received. One of the highlights of these programs was the first international broadcast of a previously unknown Russian recording of ten year-old Jascha Heifetz made in 1911.

Yuri Beliavsky also gives lectures on the "Art of Violin Playing." The most memorable of these lectures were given at the International Workshops in Austria and at the Gnesin Institute in Moscow, Russia. These programs are broadcast on Davidzon Radio in New York City.

Yuri continues to perform actively in both Milwaukee and New York City.
