Aleksandr Tsiboulski

guitarist

"deeply engrossed in the romantic strains of the music, he played with a sensuous intensity" (Classical Guitar Magazine, UK)

“he played with fluidity, finesse, and passion” (The Herald-Times, Bloomington, IN)

“Tsiboulski is little short of a magician [...] producing astonishing varieties of tone from the lute-like early music to virtuoso feats of contemporary dexterity . . .” (The Advertiser, Adelaide)

2015 saw the release of Aleksandr's second solo album on Naxos. Lovingly researched for over a decade, the album offers new readings of the guitar sonatas of Manuel Ponce. The performances are sure to surprise listeners who know the music, and draw a new group of players and afficionados to these works.

In parallel, another release is set for 2019: a profound re-imagining of how Bach is played on the guitar through new arrangements by Sydney musicologist and guitarist Stephen Snook.

Tsiboulski is a Ukraine-born, Australia-based guitarist. He is winner of twelve international competitions, including the 2000 Australian Guitar Competition and the 2006 Tokyo International Guitar Competition. His teachers have included Timothy Kain, Ernesto Bitetti and Adam Holzman. He was three times a finalist of the GFA International Concert Artist Competition. He is the recipient of numerous honours and awards, and was the Australian-American Fulbright Scholar in the Visual and Performing Arts.
