www.susibelianski.com s a badgering five-year-old, Anastasiya Petryshak begged her mother for a violin. The violin put into Anastasiya’s tiny young hands has grown into music perfection. Once her trajectory took off, she became a great violin player; She is Ukrainian-born, but Italian trained. She moved to Italy, to her, this was the country to become immersed in music and culture. Anastasiya will always credit Marta Kalynchuck for the moment she really understood and loved to make her music emotional, for her and her audience. She gave feeling to the notes. She began to remove barriers when playing, expressing emotions, fantasies, wishes. She was learning the literal art of being a violinist. Ms. Kalynchuck was the serendipity of Anastasiya’s musical life. From her original Ukrainian studies, she then began studying in the historical cities of Italy. Being able to study in cities such as Bologna, Cremona or Siena does not happen for every musician. Anastasiya has a rich natural talent and a work ethic that capitalizes on that talent. As she developed as a musician, she had opportunities to study in many marvelous cities and to study and attend masterclasses with celebrated maestri. www.MOSTmag.com || F A S H I O N M A G A Z I N E || 29 facebook.com/Petryshak.Anastasiya

ne of these cities is Cremona. Cremona is a city of famous luthiers, including Antonio Stradivari, easily the most celebrated and known luthier in the world. Its history contains much more. Founded in 218 BC, it is an ancient city, that in itself is amazing. The Roman poet, Virgil studied in Cremona. Some of the architecture in the city center dates back to 1190. The Cremona Cathedral, its Baptista, and note-worthy bell tower are Roman-Gothic architectural wonders. The bell tower houses the world’s largest astronomical clock. There is so much beauty, so much cultural depth, and Anastasiya went there as a young student, and much of it became a part of her music personality. At the Cremona International Academy, she studied with Salvatore Accardo. Virtuoso Accardo founded the Italian Chamber Orchestra in 1968, conducting it and many other ensembles and orchestras. He authored L’arte del Violino. Accardo has performed since the age of 13, his musical experience and talents opened up Anastasiya’s musical realm. At Monteverdi Music School, she studied with Virtuoso Accardo’s wife, Laura Gorna. Ms. Gorna brought the young Anastasiya along as a whole person. She helped her develop life skills that continue to make her the musical talent she is. She was being taught and mentored by many greats, among them, Koelman, Belkin, Amoyal, each imprinting unique lessons. She is truly grateful to all of them.30 || FAS HI O N M A G A Z I N E || MARCH 2015

he level of playing that Anastasiya has achieved, clearly demands a significant commitment. For a young woman in her early twenties, her career as a musician is challenging in its demands. She says it is a huge responsibility, but she does not feel that it is an obstacle to enjoying any other aspects of life; “Everything can be linked to music, it’s all connected.” Another of her passions is reading. It is important to her as it develops her imagination. All of her experiences and activities help her to understand her world and then she “describes it with music.” She has studied in many musically significant cities and alongside great talents. She has earned an impressive list of awards that illustrates why she has had such opportunities in her violin education. But listen to her play. You will not need to know any of the awards on her list to know she is special. Listening to the great Anastasiya Petryshak will put classical music on your playlist. But do not short yourself by just listening to her. See her videos, or if you are fortunate enough, hear her live. She is a wonder. And if you ever get to meet her, ask her how she keeps her beautiful hair out of the violin strings.34 || FAS HI O N M A G A Z I N E || MARCH 2015

eing a musician, Anastasiya has had many opportunities to travel and live in different cities. She feels that this is “good for the music.” She has experienced many things in her travels, new cultures, people, and talents; and, the music, she finds it infinite in its variety. Usually the beauty of it is, “Everyone can see and recognize themselves in it.” When there are restrictions of understanding between people and music, she uses the violin as the tool to join the two. “The violin allows me to come in and bring the audienceinto another world, another dimension, where there are many colors, magic, where everything is possible.” She continues to play to be able to take the strong feelings and emotions she experiences and share them with audiences. She feels during concerts that she creates relationships with the audience, “Energy and emotions mixing to become a single thing.”36 || FAS HI O N M A G A Z I N E || MARCH 2015

nterviewing Ms. Petryshak, theconversation had to include the instrument.Listening to Anastasiya describe the violin,you feel that it is an actual being.You believe that the violin has emotions,that it can share its emotions; it hasa voice; it lives; it changes; it responds;it breathes; it inspires. She also sharedthat each violin is unique in accomplishingall of these. She has studied the physicalviolin itself, not just its music. She hasstudied many violins, modern to museumpieces. She loves the opportunity todiscover and admire the differencesof each. She says each instrument has itssound, “Like the tone of voice of people.”Exploiting that sound depends onthe violinist and his approachwith the instrument.The violin must be played as part of itsmaintenance, what a wonderful advantagefor violinists. Anastasiya has this wonderfuladvantage. She performs maintenanceon some of the world’s most treasured andvalued violins. She works with the CremonaViolin Museum. She feels fortunate to havethe opportunity “to keep alive” historicalinstruments of Ruggeri, Amati, Guarneri,and Stradivari. Each violin has a differentfeel when played. She feels their individualcharacteristics. Then when she plays, it isa unique piece of music. She quotes KarelJalovec’s book Italian Violin Makers “It isimpossible to explain the acoustic valueof stringed instruments without bringingto mind a truism which is neverthelessoverlooked. The instrument does notplay itself. What we hear is the interplayof the instrument and the performer.The same violin has a different valuein different hands.” www.MOSTmag.com || F A S H I O N M A G A Z I N E || 39

aintaining violins has no greater importance than the maintenance done by the program, Violins of Hope. Violins of Hope is the story of the Jewish violins saved from the Holocaust. Some survived as they were discarded from trains transporting their owners to concentrations camps. Other violins survived so Jewish prisoners could entertain their captors who reigned terror over them. The mission of Violins of Hope is to bring to life these treasures. Some have a beautiful Star of David inlaid with pearl. In honor of the most recent International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anastasiya Petryshak played one of these violins. The violin of the Shoah was presented to Ms. Petryshak and she brought it back to life. Above a picture of Anastasiya embracing the violin she writes, “So as not to forget.”40 || FAS HI O N M A G A Z I N E || MARCH 2015

Ms. Petryshak’s amazing talents have provided When asked what part of her music is most important, she says,her the opportunity to play at incredible “Every moment spent with music has something special to bevenues. She has played at the Milan Cathedral,Metropolitan Pavillion in New York, and the considered a success.” Anastasiya Petryshak is a young musicianSala Nervi of the Vatican. She performs solos with many years to develop and share her talents. Today shewith famous orchestras such as the Italian is great in many ways; most notably she is greatly humble.Philharmonic, Teatro Regio Orchestra in Parmaand the Rossini Orchestra. She performs recitals Whether she learned it from the great Bocelli or is a natural partand plays classical music from composers of her being,it is wonderful to see in such a young star.of many eras and nationalities. She does nothave a preference, all music is beautiful to her,and its beauty comes from how she plays itand the meaning she instills. Playing solo doesnot have any greater importance to her thancollaborations of legendary musicians. And atthe age of fifteen, yes fifteen, she played withAndrea Bocelli. And to clarify, that was only thefirst concert with Bocelli. She is thrilled with eachopportunity and describes him as very humble. www.MOSTmag.com || F A S H I O N M A G A Z I N E || 41
