About

Domrist, Mandolinist, and 2019 Astral National Auditions Winner, Ekaterina Skliar made her debut at age 11 with the Russian Folk Instrument Orchestra of the Buryatia Republic. Since then she has been performing at festivals and venues throughout the United States and Russia giving solo recitals and collaborating with various chamber groups and orchestras.

In 2015 Ekaterina and her husband Alexey Alexandrov, who is a professional musician playing domra, have created a unique mandolin-domra duo that presents a repertoire that spans the globe; from Bach duets to Russian folk songs, and from Alexey’s own compositions to world music and jazz.

Ekaterina studied at the Novosibirsk Specialized Music School (college), which is one of the two most prestigious schools of music for protégés in Russia (the second one is in Moscow). She received her Bachelor’s degree with Honors in Music Performance from M. Glinka Novosibirsk State Conservatory.
