Lulo Reinhardt and Yuliya Lonskaya
Two wonderful world class guitarists; this musical 'pairing' is definitely a cut above
Lulo Reinhardt, from Germany (Koblenz) is the grand nephew of Django Reinhardt and has toured in the UK several times in the past 10 or so years including an appearance at Cork Jazz Festival with his 5-piece band. While Lulo has a repertoire of gypsy swing as you might expect, he has extended and developed his musical horizons beyond that with music from North Africa and India influencing his playing and now with Yuliya he moves towards classical music.
Yuliya Lonskaya was born in 1980 in Belarus and began to learn to play guitar in her home town of Mogilev studying at the local music college. Later, she gained a diploma at the Belarus Academy of Music in Minsk and continued her studies with Prof. Andreas von Wangenheim at the Karlsruhe Musik Hochschule. Finally she took masterclasses with such prominent performers as Costas Cotsiolis, David Russell, Carlo Marchione and Abel Carlevaro.
Since then Yuliya has won several international guitar competitions in Poland, England, Serbia and Montenegro. In 2002, in a duo with Russian guitarist, Dimitrii Illarionov, she won the prestigious GFA guitar competition (Guitar Foundation of America). In 2006, she made her debut in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow as soloist with the Symphonic Orchestra Novaya Rossiya.
With her eclectic repertoire of folk, jazz, bossa nova, Baroque and Romantic music as well as classical, Yuliya is a very welcome performer in many European and American concert halls playing solo concerts and as a soloist with orchestras.
Together, as the saying goes, they make beautiful music.
