Marian Yanchyk

Marian Yanchyk is a Ukrainian-born violinist from Lviv who has been based in Portugal since 2005. He began violin and piano at the age of six and continued his studies in conservatories in Seia, Bragança and Faro. Since settling in Lisbon in 2010, he has moved between improvised music, jazz-manouche and musical traditions from Eastern Europe.

His projects include Manouchka, Orquestra TODOS, Mariachi Sol de Lisboa and Hot Club Internacional. He has studied the manouche tradition with performers including Tcha Limberger and has appeared in concerts and festivals in Portugal and abroad. His work adapts the violin's melodic and rhythmic possibilities to both traditional settings and more experimental ensembles.
