Biography

Oxana Dodon BiographyMy passion for violin started when I was 5 years old and began my studies at the prestigious Musical Lyceum “Ciprian Porumbescu” in the Republic of Moldova. I subsequently graduated with a distinction for a Licentiate Diploma in Higher Education Music from the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, “Gavriil Musicescu” in Chisinau.

During my time at the Academy, I participated in many Master classes with famous Violinists such as Charles Sewart (former member of Chilingirian Quartet) and Sandor Devich (former member of Bartok Quartet), violist Jerry Horner (former member of Fine Arts Quartet) and Cellist Laszlo Mezo (member of Bartok Quartet).

I also had master classes with Sofia Propiscian (Nijni Novgorod), Emilian Dascal (international soloist), Laura Samuel (former member of Belcea Quartet) and Eduard Grach (Moscow). I was awarded a place in a prestigious project organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Bucharest to take part in frequent master classes for professional string quartets with the world renowned “Belcea Quartet“ (London).
