Andrew Burashko

Andrew Burashko

Born in Moscow into a family of musicians, Andrew began his studies with Marina Geringas at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. He went on to study with Lee Kum-Sing in Vancouver, Leon Fleisher and Marek Jablonski in Toronto, and Bella Davidovich in New York. Since making his debut with the Toronto Symphony at the age of 17, he has performed as a soloist and chamber musician extensively throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. For over twenty years, he was also involved in an important, ongoing collaboration with the dancer Peggy Baker.

In 1998, Andrew's musical dexterity and passion for artistic experimentation led him to create the Art of Time Ensemble, a chamber music collective comprised of the best artists on the Canadian scene. Since then, Art of Time Ensemble has been committed to redefining the experience of music performance and exploring the juxtaposition of high art and popular culture. The ensemble has received wide acclaim for its thoughtful and challenging programming, its brilliant performances, and its ability to reach across the borders that often separate artistic genres and audiences. The list of artists and musicians who have collaborated with Art of Time Ensemble includes the who’s who of the Canadian cultural scene as well as internationally renowned artists such as Branford Marsalis and Madeleine Peyroux. Its list of alumni includes some of the top Canadian soloists, chamber musicians and principal players in major orchestras around the world.

Andrew Burashko has recorded for CBC SM5000, Dorian, Naxos, Analekta, Pheromone, and Centerdisc labels, and his recording of Prokofiev's 6th Sonata and Romeo and Juliet suite has been released on the Opening Day label.
