OLARIO is the new neo-classical and electronic project by Austrian international award-winning violinist and composer Yury Revich.
THE STORY:
Yury is a classically trained violinist from 4 generations of violin players in his family since the 19th century, and is celebrating a successful international career as a soloist performing in venues like Carnegie Hall and La Scala.
He was always keen on composing his own music since he was a child. He started exploring this by writing his own cadenzas to the violin concertos he performed on stage from an early age.
However, he often felt confined by tradition, unable to fully express himself. The global pandemic offered Yury the time and inspiration to explore his artistic freedom.
With his new project OLARIO, as a multi-instrumentalist, he pushes creative boundaries,experimenting with diverse melodic waves,.
He is composing, recording, and producing unique music that blends the warmth of acoustic instruments with electronic soundscapes.
NEO-CLASSICAL and ALTERNATIVE GENRES:
While working with alternative genres, in 2021 he co-wrote the hit ByeByeBye for Michaele Schulte, which landed in the top 20 of the official German charts; he also collaborated with artists like Gabriel Prokofiev, Pixie Lott, Azekel and others.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS and DIRECTING:
